The translated lyrics are written as a dialogue: the first voice in regular type, the second in italics.

- The narrow path ran through the sheds.

- We walked to avoid possible threats.

- Our cassocks look like pajamas,

- It feels like love we've had just now.

- Our waxen faces deepen the effect,

- After those ceremonies, there's no anger, no stress.

- Do you remember the notice on the sixth page?

- Don't let anger...

- Yes, I remember what it says.

- Unexpectedly, we faced the serious men,

- One with a scar upon his skin.

- It's the mark of a knife, what do you think?

- Thugs pushed us to the wall,

- Hanging over us like a cat over its prey.

- We stopped, our breath wasn't easy,

- Our props leave us, it's not so breezy.

- Please, don't bite us, take everything, please!

- We have many things in our bags,

- You can check this.

- This is our sacred book - it's heavy stuff,

- Take it if you want, but the read is rough.

- These are magic flutes - the mess will rise

- Here are the pills...

- Oh, don't eat it, no life!

- It's the front line of a dark research.

- It has a particular specificity.

- You'll never find it without a throughout search.

- It's not like any Dolphins or Pacifics.

- It open doors of the mind!

- It strike to the point of pleasure!

- It's like... It's like... Beats me!

- Oh, guys... Don't choice it!

- Did you swallow?

- Oh what?!

- You are brave people, advices aren't for you.

- Is it really allow to eat from enemy's shit?

- What if there's poison in it?

- There are villains who never sleep.

- I'm here!

- Yaah, he is!

- And now your will is paralyzed.

- I think, it's time, Sanek!

- I see it, Kolya.

- Your consciousness is an untached field,

- But we will try to plow...

- And clear of weed.

- Hey, guys, you're totally obedient to us,

- You couldn't belch or retch without a fuss.

- At first, replace all our stuff.

- Now, I want an apology from them!

- Of course, it sound like justice! Bow down to us!

- Let's take a pic and share it on the site.

- So what, assholes, repent and smash your stupid heads to the floor.

- Keep the calm, Sanek, one arrived to the Heaven yet!

- Rest in peace, Dude! Hey you! Wake up!

- So what, escort him to the guru?!

- No other way, it's right!

- We shall play flutes of magic sounds now,

- And you must go everywhere and every time!

- Sanek!

- What?

- Might we take the corpse with us?

- Good skin and liver, his buddy will make it fast.

- I'm sure, the wise will be glad about gift.

- Hey you, let's grab its silky hair shit!

- So what? Let's go and sing!

- People can't believe their eyes.

- I swear! It's real!

- Two freaky guys perform with flutes,

- The thug behind them drags the dead.

- I can't objectively rate this pride,

- Because I'm part of it.

- But I'm sure, It's looking right.

- Today the catch isn't quite big,

- Some days are worse than any others.

- Spot on! Sanek!

- It's the great proberb...

It's a translation of the song "Krisolov" (like "Ratcatcher" - the Russian title of the fairy tale The Pied Piper of Hamelin) by the Russian experimental band Ptizu Emъ (which roughly means "I'm eating the bird"). I wasn't translating word by word. Sometimes it comes out more like a free flow. I'm trying to maintain the original rhythm, or at least keep some rhythm, lol. You can find the original track by searching "Птицу Емъ – Крысолов."
