Текст песни Валерий Брюсов - Каменщик, каменщик в фартуке белом...

- A bricklayer, a bricklayer in a white apron,
What are you building there? to whom?

- Hey, do not bother us, we are busy,
We are building, we are building a prison.

- Mason, mason with a faithful shovel,
Who will sob in her?

“True, not you and not your brother, rich.”
You don’t need to steal.

- Mason, mason, long nights
Who will spend in it without sleep?

“Maybe my son is a working man.”
Thus, our share is full.

- Mason, mason, perhaps recall
Those who carried bricks!

- Hey, watch out! do not spoil under the forests ...
We know everything ourselves, be silent!
