[ Translation below ] До хрипоты ответы искали, До рассвета сами себе возражали. Ты спорил с каждой моей идеей, Я — с твоей. Мы были глупее. Теперь в тебе нет изъяна Ты учишь жить без лжи и обмана. Как мне работать, во что одеваться, Над кем смеяться, кого бояться. Думай сам! Я слушал тебя — что-то било в висок. Знакомая мысль и чуждый итог. Тот самый спор почти до рассвета Так и остался тогда без ответа. Ты верил, что собьются с пути. Я считал — должны сами дойти. Ты кричал: «Человека надо пасти». А я: „Может, и пасти, но без привязи“ Думай сам! До хрипоты ответы искали, До рассвета сами себе возражали. Ты спорил с каждой моей идеей, Я — с твоей. Но ты был хитрее. Теперь ты кричишь так рьяно, Твои слова полны лжи и обмана. Ты показал мне единственный путь, А я найду, как с него свернуть! *** We searched for answers until we were hoarse, arguing with ourselves until dawn. You argued with every idea I had, and I argued with every idea you had. We were more foolish then. Now there seems to be nothing wrong with you. You teach me how to live without lies or deceit. How I should work, what I should wear, who I should laugh at, who I should be afraid of. Think for yourself! I listened to you, and something was pounding in my temple. The thought was familiar, but the conclusion felt alien. That same argument we had almost until dawn was left unresolved back then. You believed that people would lose their way. I thought they had to find their own way. You shouted, “People need to be herded.” And I said, “Maybe they do need to be herded, but without being tied down.” Think for yourself! We searched for answers until we were hoarse, arguing with ourselves until dawn. You argued with every idea I had, and I argued with every idea you had. But you turned out to be more cunning. Now you shout with such conviction, but your words are full of lies and deceit. You showed me the one and only path, and I will find a way to leave it.
