"Look After Yourself"
I would like to share a song from my young days with you.
The band was called Kino, and their frontman was Viktor Tsoi (Виктор Цой). Sadly, he died in 1990 in a car crash.
You should read the translation of the lyrics of the song while listening to the original song.
You know a good song when you hear it.
Today, they say to someone: "Goodbye!"
Tomorrow they say: "Farewell forever!"
A wounded heart will bleed.
Tomorrow, someone will come home,
Only to find their city in ruins,
Someone falls off a high crane.
Look after yourself, be careful!
Look after yourself!
Look after yourself, be careful!
Look after yourself!
Tomorrow morning, someone lying in bed
Will realise he is terminally ill,
Someone leaving home will be hit by a car.
Tomorrow, in a hospital somewhere
The hand of a young surgeon will tremble,
Someone in the woods will step on a mine
Look after yourself, be careful!
Look after yourself!
Look after yourself, be careful!
Look after yourself!
In the night, a plane flies overhead
Tomorrow, it will crash into the ocean
Killing all passengers
Tomorrow somewhere, who knows where?
War, epidemics, snowstorms,
Black holes in space
Look after yourself, be careful!
Look after yourself!
Look after yourself, be careful!
Look after yourself!
Look after yourself!
Look after yourself!
Ironically his lyrics include someone getting hit by a car.
