Deti prokhodnikh dvorov (translation)

I know that if it's night, it will be dark

And if it's morning, then there'll be light

It was always so, and will be for many years

Because it's the law...

The children from crossing yards

Know that I'm right

I know that if it's winter, it will snow,

And if it's summer, it'll be sunny

And I know this, it's what I believe

And I can have hope that

The children from crossing yards

Will listen to me...

There are two colours: black and white

And there are many more shades in between,

But it doesn't matter who chooses what

Whether it's black or it's white

We're children from crossing yards,

We'll find our colour on our own
