Дети проходных дворов (deti prokhodnikh dvorov)

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
