English translation of lyrics:

Tanbulis
Went to bed late, got up early
I have a thumping headache
Metro is crowded – the man opposite
Staring at me like a moron
I’ve got such a lot to tell
If only someone would listen
I’ve had it up to here from keeping it all in
I missed the boat -
I plunged into life too young
I wasn’t ready for you - you confused me
You made me cry, you made me moan,
You broke my heart and bruised me,
You crushed me, you wore me out,
You chewed me up and spat me out,
You made me lie – you taught me lies.
You changed me a lot, City – this is not me!
From the mud that spurts under the broken paving stones,
Your seven hills and your seven thousand stairs and holes,
Your starving animals, your starving people,
Your full-bellied greedy people,
Open your eyes and watch me City –
As I leave all those behind
I’m going to listen to your drums –
From afar …
