Текст песни Юз Алешковский - Советская пасхальная

I look at the sky with an enlightened gaze
I realized for three in the morning.
I love this day as Miner's Day
and the feast of our Armed Forces.

Today, eggs break with a bang,
and the bells delight the soul.
And the proletarians of all countries are united
around the easter table.

There they paint eggs in blue and green,
and I only paint them red
in my hands I carry them proudly like banners
and a symbol of our joyful victories.

How good at this time of year
go straight from the church for lunch
let's smoke the opium of the people
and he will smoke our cigarettes.

To the ringing of knives and forks
the smell of Easter cakes tickles the nostrils,
nice to me in a continuous forest of bottles
see even the faces of informers.

All people are brothers! I will hug the Chinese
I’ll say hello to Mao Zedong,
he will send his yellow eggs to me,
I will give my red ones to him.

The curse of testing in a clear sky
it is not for this that Christ came down from the cross.
We shout: "Hands off, imperialists,
from our risen Christ! "

So let's go kiss, passerby!
Forgive me for pure interest.
We are becoming like people ...
Come on again! .. Truly risen!
