[Verse 1]

Мы хотим проснуться утром и не дёргаться от звука,

We want to wake up in the morning and not flinch from a sound,

Чтобы ребёнок шёл во двор, не держась за руку крепко.

So that a child walks to the yard, not holding a hand tightly.

Чтобы окна настежь — и весна вошла в дома,

So that windows are wide open — and spring enters homes,

А не ждали, что опять что-то прилетит сюда.

And not waiting for something to fly here again.

Мы хотим обычный день без тревог и новостей,

We want an ordinary day without worries and news,

Чтобы родители не прятали глаза от своих детей.

So that parents don't hide their eyes from their children.

Чтобы пацаны вернулись, обняли своих,

So that the guys return, embrace their loved ones,

И никто больше не учился жить без родных.

And no one else learns to live without relatives.

Нам не нужен этот страх, нам не нужен этот дым,

We don't need this fear, we don't need this smoke,

Мы хотим опять смеяться, быть живыми, молодыми.

We want to laugh again, to be alive, young.

Чтобы во дворе до ночи снова слышался движ,

So that the buzz is heard in the yard again until night,

И никто не говорил ребёнку: «Быстро в подвал бежишь!»

And no one tells a child: "Run to the basement quickly!"

[Pre-Chorus]

Пусть расправит крылья утро,

Let the morning spread its wings,

Пусть растает тишина тревог.

Let the silence of anxieties melt away.

Нам для счастья нужно мало:

We need little for happiness:

Чтоб домой вернуться каждый смог.

So that everyone can return home.

[Chorus]

Мы хотим открытое небо,

We want an open sky,

Мы хотим обычный рассвет.

We want an ordinary dawn.

Чтобы над крышами снова были птицы,

So that birds are over the roofs again,

А в ушах — тишина, не сирен ответ.

And in the ears — silence, not the answer of sirens.

Мы хотим просто жить!

We just want to live!

Вот и весь наш ответ!

That's our whole answer!

Мы хотим мира!

We want peace!

Чтобы над нами было небо, а не чёрный дым.

So that above us is the sky, not black smoke.

Мы хотим мира!

We want peace!

Чтобы дети больше не прятались в подвалах одни.

So that children no longer hide in basements alone.

Мы хотим мира!

We want peace!

Чтобы снова птицы пели над родным двором.

So that birds sing again over the native yard.

Мы хотим мира!

We want peace!

Чтобы каждый мог вернуться к себе домой.

So that everyone can return to their home.

[Verse 2]

Мы хотим, чтоб телефон звонил, и это просто: «Привет!»

We want the phone to ring, and it's just: "Hello!"

А не сердце замирало от тревожных новостей.

And not the heart stopping from alarming news.

Чтобы «Ты где?» означало: «Брат, погнали во двор!»

So that "Where are you?" means: "Brother, let's go to the yard!"

А не поиск по спискам и знакомое имя опять.

And not searching through lists and a familiar name again.

Мы хотим, чтобы дети не знали слова «обстрел»,

We want children not to know the word "shelling",

Чтобы школьный звонок был обычным, не сигналом сирен.

So that the school bell is ordinary, not a siren signal.

Чтобы вместо формы на пацанах были старые кеды,

So that instead of uniforms, the guys wear old sneakers,

А вместо сводок вечером — музыка и беседы.

And instead of evening reports — music and conversations.

Нам не нужен пафос, нам не нужен этот цирк,

We don't need pathos, we don't need this circus,

Мы устали видеть боль, пока кто-то делит мир.

We are tired of seeing pain while someone divides the world.

Нам бы друга встретить, хлопнуть по плечу:

We'd like to meet a friend, clap him on the shoulder:

«Брат, ты живой?» — «Слава богу. Я тебя не отпущу».

"Brother, are you alive?" — "Thank God. I won't let you go."

[Pre-Chorus]

Пусть расправит крылья утро,

Let the morning spread its wings,

Пусть растает тишина тревог.

Let the silence of anxieties melt away.

Нам для счастья нужно мало:

We need little for happiness:

Чтоб домой вернуться каждый смог.

So that everyone can return home.

[Chorus]

Мы хотим открытое небо,

We want an open sky,

Мы хотим обычный рассвет.

We want an ordinary dawn.

Чтобы над крышами снова были птицы,

So that birds are over the roofs again,

А в ушах — тишина, не сирен ответ.

And in the ears — silence, not the answer of sirens.

Мы хотим просто жить!

We just want to live!

Вот и весь наш ответ!

Lines explained

“И никто не говорил ребёнку: «Быстро в подвал бежишь!»”

And no one tells a child: "Run to the basement quickly!"

This line vividly illustrates the constant threat and fear children face, where a normal childhood activity is replaced by an urgent need for safety.

“А в ушах — тишина, не сирен ответ.”

And in the ears — silence, not the answer of sirens.

This line contrasts the desired peace (silence) with the harsh reality of war (sirens), highlighting the loss of everyday tranquility.

“Мы устали видеть боль, пока кто-то делит мир.”

We are tired of seeing pain while someone divides the world.

This line expresses frustration and weariness with the ongoing conflict and its human cost, while powerful entities are perceived to be 'dividing the world'.
