У меня в Москве — купола горят!
Here, in my Moscow – cupolas shine!
У меня в Москве — колокола звонят!
Here, in my Moscow – great bells chime!
И гробницы в ряд у меня стоят, —
And facing me are the tombs were
В них царицы спят, и цари.
Tsarinas and Tsars are sleeping.
И не знаешь ты, что зарёй в Кремле
And do you know that, at dawn, in the Kremlin,
Легче дышится — чем на всей земле!
It's easier to breathe that anywhere else on earth!
