| Ja načal žizn’ v trušćobax gorodskix | I began life in the urban slums |
| I dobryx slov ja ne slyxal. | And nice words I never heard. |
| Kogda laskali by detej svoix, | While you were caressing your children, |
| Ja esť prosil, ja zamerzal. | I wanted to eat, and I froze. |
| | |
| Vy, uvidav menja, ne prjač’te vzgljad | You, after seeing me, didn't hide your glance |
| Veď ja ni v čem, ni v čem ne vinovat. | Indeed I am guilty of nothing, of nothing. |
| Za čto vy brosili menja ? Za čto ! | Why did you did throw me away? For what! |
| Gde moj očag, gde moj nočleg ? | Where is my focus, where my lodging? |
| | |
| Ne priznaete vy moe rodstvo, | You don't acknowledge that you are my kin, |
| A ja vaš brat, ja čelovek. | But I am your brother, I am a person. |
| By večno molites’ svoim bogam, | You eternally pray to your gods, |
| I vaši bogi vse prošćajut vam. | And your gods pardon you of all. |
| | |
| Kraj neboskrebov i roskošnyx vill, | A territory of skyscrapers and luxurious villas, |
| Iz okon b’em slepjašćij svet. | From their windows beats a blinding light. |
| O esli b mne xoť raz nabraťsja sil, | Oh if only I could gather my strength just once, |
| Vy dali b mne za vse otvet. | Maybe you would give me the answer to it all. |
| | |
| Otkrojte dveri, ljudi, ja vaš brat | Open the doors, people, I am your brother |
| Veď ja ni v čem, ni v čem ne vinovat. | Indeed I am guilty of nothing, of nothing |
| Vy znali laski materej rodnyx, | You knew the caresses of your mothers, |
| A ja ne znal i liš’ vo sne. | But I didn't, only in a dream |
| | |
| V moix mečtan’jax detskix, zolotyx | In my golden childhood dreams, |
| Mať inogda javljalas’ mne. | My mother would appear to me. |
| O, mama ! Esli by najti tebja, | Oh, mom! If you could find me, |
| Byla b ne tak gor’ka moja suďba. | My fate would not have been so bitter |
