Lyrics by: V. Polienko
Poprosi menya…
(Ask me…)
Ogon’ki privychniye
Gastnut I konchayutsya
Tol’ko bezrazlichniye
Fonari kachayutsya
(Familiar lights
Fade and die
Only indifferent
Lanterns shake)
Mysli postoronniye
Lishniye, ne noviye
I postustoronniye
Zavodnie klouny
(Strange ideas are
Superfluous and unoriginal
And from another dimension are
Wind-up clowns)
Zavodnie klouny
Siniye I krasniye
Zavodnie klouny
I slova naprasniye
(Wind-up clowns
Are blue and red
Wind-up clowns
And words are useless)
Luchshe poprosi menya
I prosnyomsya novymi
I prosnyomsya sil’nymi
Tol’ko poprosi menya
(Better ask me
And we’ll awake like new
And we’ll awaken strong
Just ask me)
Poprosi menya …
(Ask me …)
Siniye I krasniye
Rasniye naprasniye
Krasniye I siniye
I sovsem bessil’niye
(Blues and reds
Differently useless
Reds and blues
And entirely powerless)
Samiye obychniye
I sovsem ne noviye
Kukly bezrazlichniye
Zavodnie klouny
(Most ordinary
And absolutely unoriginal
Indifferent dolls are
Wind-up clowns)
Na chetyre storony
Vse chetyre leviye
A po pyatoi klouny
Kukly neumeliye
(In four directions
All four point left
And in the fifth are clowns
Clumsy dolls)
Luchshe poprosi menya
I prosnyomsya novymi
I prosnyomsya sil’nymi
Tol’ko poprosi menya
(Better ask me
And we’ll awake like new
And we’ll awaken strong
Just ask me)
Poprosi menya …
