Slacker’s hymn

Creative souls have a dream to learn

A happy life without money

In well-being and cozy comfort

Slacker immerses in songwriting

No worries about the income

No rent, no credit balance

No rat race, just strings and drumsticks

Are enough — and screw the schemes

For money spoils the art creation

Corrupts the essence of dreamers

What’s it that a human needs?

Just clothes, a roof and yummy dinners

If only there could time and shelter

Some coffee and unlimited smokes,

The rhymes would fall in perfect motive

And we’ll exist without mopes

Songs would roll out in huge print runs

Like the bills fresh from the minting

A sheaf of hits will storm world charts

Climbing the top pushing unflinching

Would pour like rain with the might of

Thunder, lightning’s sudden glory

To wake the deaf and to set alight

The crowd of fans that crave new stories

I really want to feel it one day

Be blessed with my empty pockets

And having zeroed-out bank accounts

Expired cards, ever missing profits

But not to starve or freeze and to

Quench my thirst with sparkling water

On earth, not heaven get it all

The cherished dream of lazy squatter

————————————————-

Help this guy

To start anti-financial life

Need to find

Somewhere free

Of lawyers-keepers of hellfire

Come on, try

To build something an unusual type

Too much lying

Down to get up and play

As we desire

This is what this song sounds like in the original Russian language:

Lyudi tvorchestva mechtayut

Nauchitsya zhiti bez deneg

Chtob vdastatke i kamforte

Pesni mog pisati bezdelinik

Bez aglyadki na dahody

Bez gasheniya kamunalak

Bez kreditav vdovali byla

Strun i barabannyh palak

Dengi tvorchestvu meshayut

Dengi portyat chelaveka

Chelaveku mnogali nada? —

Bylab syto i adeta

Bylab vremya, bylab mesta

Bylib kofe, sigarety

I tagdab lazhilasi rifma

Na mativy i kuplety

Vyhadilib tirazhami

Kak banknoty na gaznake

Za hitom hit i atvazhna

Lezli na vershiny chartav

Abrushalisi by kak liveni

Letam s molniyami gromam

Na vseh, kto dazhe gluhie

Na tolpy zhazhdushih fanatav

Kak zhe hochetsya adnazhdy

Asaznati, chto ty vdrug schastliv

Bez kapeiki na karmane

I bez plastikavai karty

Stala vdrug teplo i sytna,

I ne muchieshsya s zhazhdy

Na zemle, a ne na nebe

Chto zhelal — paluchit kazhdyi

Pamagay

Sazdati antifinansoviy ray

Nuzhen kray

Gde net mesta

Yuristam tvaryam

Nachinay

Vklyuchati golavu i ponimay

Ih staya

No eto nasha igra

Tak sygraem
