mihail krug - Kolshik (Tattooer)

oO

Tattoo a dome on my back

Together with a miraculous cross with icons

Where bells are chiming

And harmonizing with each other

Tattoo a house by the stream

Thin like a thread and flowing slowly

In order to stop the corrupt judge

From isolating me from it with prison bars

Paint a beautiful red sunset,

A prickly rose insted of rusty wire.

Write the words: Mother, I am not guilty!

Let's see if they can wipe it.

If there's still a place,

Paint a boat with sails full of wind

I sail away, the wolves are after you

To remember me forever

It formed peace in my soul.

My only wish is to meet my mother

The cross tells me to choose

Salvation rather than repentance

Mother don't condemn me

I live cause I knew you were waiting for me

I know you cry every evening

You dream about my childhood

I'm creeping to you and cover your eyes with my hands

You say intetionally: "Father? Tatianka"?

I'm laughing: " No, no wrong answer".

I greet my father and Tania.

The money disappeared from the envelope,

Those bastards took it out

And I will come back home in spite of them

Because you are waiting for me.
