" Глупые Люди" ('Glupye Ljudi' /'Silly People') by HI-FI

~*Glupye ljudi...Solntse na bljude edjat*~ - Brokeris 'signature song', as I like to call it, because he never missed an opportunity to sing along whenever it was played. And played it was, many times, to the delight of the Fabrikanti. Liels paldies to LG for the translations, not only from Russian to English, but also from Cyrillic to Western alphabet.
*This is dedicated to Lachie & Keith, who hold this beautiful song close to their hearts.*

Krestik-nolik - sutki proch,
Ty tseluesh chju-to doch, igraesh.
Chem pugaet glubina,
Chto grustit v ee glazah, ne znaesh

You play and hours pass by,
You kiss somebody’s daughter, playing…
The deepness frightens, you don’t know why.
Why the sadness in her eyes

Nas ostorozhno kachajut
Volny spokoinogo sna

The waves of sweet dreams
caress us tenderly

Glupye ljudi
Solntse na bljude edjat.
Kto-to rassudit
Vse nabljudaja svysoka
Raznye sudby
Sestry, podrugi, a ja
Prjachu oskolki
Vse chto ostalos ot tebja.

Silly people
They enjoy the sun.
Somebody will pass judgment,
Observing everything from high above.
Different destinies,
Sisters, friends, but me –
I’m hiding the pieces,
That’s all that’s left from you.

Ty bystree, chem vchera
Kto-to den strjahnul s plecha ustalo.
V dolgiy jaschik do utra
Neotlozhnye dela sobralis

A bit faster than yesterday
Somebody shook the day off his shoulder tiredly.
‘Have-to-do’ things are gathered in a box,
Til the morning.

Vse nikogda ne uspeesh
Nado li chto-to menjatj

You’ll never manage everything.
Do you have to change anything at all?

Glupye ljudi
Solntse na bljude edjat.
Kto-to rassudit
Vse nabljudaja svysoka
Raznye sudby
Sestry, podrugi, a ja
Prjachu oskolki
Vse chto ostalos ot tebja

Silly people
They enjoy the sun.
Somebody will pass judgment,
Observing everything from high above.
Different destinies,
Sisters, friends, but me –
I’m hiding the pieces,
That’s all that’s left from you…
