Текст песни
From the third collection of poems "The Dreamer” (Russian: Мечтатель).
In English (interpretation by Lord Muck):
What's not right here is what's fitting!
Rhyme does not count here at all.
Here's a fact I know, no kidding,
only neat kids reach the goal.
Let this day be full of riddles,
from the dawn until the dusk.
Brief replies are only needed,
if you know you guess, tell us!
We'll find out the riddles' meaning...
Ready! Steady! The beginning!

When you wake, you see a boon:
shining light that's from the / Moon > Sun /.
Hands wide, then the legs do walk –
we are doing / homework > exercises /.
In the morning every winner
eats the light and tasty / dinner > breakfast /.
To be clean, right from the head,
we must go / to the bed > to wash, brush our teeth /.
Wise men teach us: we must trigger
cleaning teeth applying / finger > brush and toothpaste /.
All my friends – the girls, the boys –
should prepare for school the / toys > bag /.
As for wear, we must know:
style at school is / kimono > uniform /.
Each school child will pass this test:
school is such a place to / rest > study /.
All A's-pupils always have
in the school reports all / F's > A's /.
I may all things understand.
If you ask me, I will / stand > answer /.
After school we feel seduction,
we go straight towards / construction > home /.
To be stronger than a kitten,
we should always eat a / mitten > lunch /.
Time at school may be so sweet,
if you're well with your / crossfit > lessons /.
All are tired, rest awaits.
Children only need / playmates > quiet time, rest /.
Quiet time is almost go,
so the next is / TV show > afternoon snack /.
To be strong as Hercules,
we must spend time at / PCs > the gym /.
Do it all before nightfall,
don't forget to / play the ball > eat supper /.
After supper, make a pause,
there'll be reading of new / laws > poems, books /.
Here's the light of shining stars,
for the night we'll drink sweet / kvass > kefir, tea /.
All the fish sleep in the pool,
we lie down / on the stool > in the bed /.
Go to sleep, both child and dad,
let the dreams be only / bad > good /.
Let your sleep be deep and tight,
soon again we'll see the / night > day /.
