Герои вчерашних дней (Heroes of yesterday)
What's that crowd,
Like on a fashion show,
Each one's more important and grand than the next one,
And the long queue's winding
And there's no end to it...
Here, on Saturdays, they make a free record
Of heroes of yesterday,
Tearing the stars off the epaulettes,
Washing the colours off the face...
Only yesterday we had a compartment all to ourselves,
Watched the vastness through the window,
It seemed as if everything around breathed eternal Spring.
But suddenly, at sunrise, a knock at the door -
A public controller's coming to you,
How could you not notice
That your travelling allowance is no longer valid.
Refrain: Heroes of yesterday,
It's the heroes of yesterday,
Let's be indulgent to
Heroes of yesterday.
Heroes of yesterday,
It's the heroes of yesterday,
I wouldn't want to be recorded as
A hero of yesterday.
And you're alone on the platform
As plain as the nose on your face,
A target for nickels and stones,
The past fame vanished like the fog,
But really, i don't care.
And beautiful wagonages
Are flying by
With the heroes of today,
And they are enjoying
Looking at you through the windows.
Refrain.
All i can say (in English, so no translation needed... i hope )
One of their biggest relatively recent hits.
Someday The World Will Bend For Us (translation borrowed here, lots of mistakes but i am lazy so i've only edited it a bit )
1.
Here the sea of young men waves superbasses,
I'm 3 hundred years old, I've went out of darkness.
They pour their noses and say rave is a class,
They don't look like us.
And I don't want to rule another man's abbey,
I've seen this life with open eyes,
Chorus.
Don't need to bend yourself for the changing world -
It'd better be bent for us,
Someday it will bend for us.
2.
A friend of mine, worth two men, he never liked waiting,
And every day's the last of his days.
Every moment he was checking the world for break -
The world turned out to be stronger.
So rest in peace, the idol they've forgotten long ago,
You were at the top for a million times,
Chorus.
Don't need to bend yourself for the changing world -
It'd better be bent for us,
Someday it will bend for us.
3.
The other went down the river, catching the stream,
Far from the high coasts and hills.
He was like all and swam like all, and now he's there —
No home, no friends, no enemies.
His life reminds of a fruit cocktail,
I've seen that too, too many times,
Chorus.
Don't need to bend yourself for the changing world -
It'd better be bent for us,
Someday it will bend for us.
4.
No matter that the old denim is in holes,
No matter the broken bass's wheezing,
Chorus.
Don't need to bend yourself for the changing world
It'd better be bent for us.
Someday the world will bend for us.
Someday it will bend for us.
Someday it will bend for us.
Someday it will bend for us.
Someday it will bend for us.
Someday it will bend for us.

Nothing will get you dead quicker than being deadly serious about yourself.
