english lyrics
Engine will fade
Already under the windows a taxi is shaking
Do not beg me and do not ask
The porches remember my tired style
And the buttons in the elevator were burned by someone
I hear the screams of husband and wife
Family life all the details

The engine dies down, the smell of exhaust fumes disappears
And you will be buried in the monitor
Not noticing how it dripped from his left eye
Snow will fall and close all the rust of the old cornices
And for a whole century you will wait for my appearance from below (from below)

Raw cracked two-tone walls
A frantic stream flows down to Rome
And dry up forever
Fire escape from sophisticated schemes
It tells me that we will burn now
And gives me to Moscow

The engine dies down, the smell of exhaust fumes disappears
And you will be buried in the monitor
Not noticing how it dripped from his left eye
Snow will fall and close all the rust of the old cornices
And for a whole century you will wait for my appearance from below

The engine dies down, the smell of exhaust fumes disappears
And you will be buried in the monitor
Not noticing how it dripped from his left eye
Snow will fall and close all the rust of the old cornices
And for a whole century you will wait for my appearance from below
