At first it was evening
And then it was me
Yesterday a word on the wind
Today the earth
On an old cemetery
Where enemies rose from the dead
I understood something
As I started the day from the left foot
He-eey-eey-eey,
Born in the USSR
He-eey-eey-eey,
Born in the USSR
Not a second without fighting
We believe in life and death
Into the eyes of your dog
We aren't afraid to stare
Today is victory
Understand and forgive
There is nothing left for us
But we've got something to carry
He-eey-eey-eey,
Born in the USSR
He-eey-eey-eey,
Born in the USSR
You are the farther the steeper
You are almost sunset
Hello, ancient Rus,
I'm your nervous brother!
What will hope give us?
What will beauty save?
Yesterday you were the chief
(Of the Empire)
And today you are an orphan
He-eey-eey-eey,
Born in the USSR
He-eey-eey-eey,
Born in the USSR
