(Title:) FAREWELL LETTER /n
(Songwriters: Vyacheslav Butusov, Dmitriy Umetskiy) /n
When all the songs I don't remember /n
Forever grow silent /n
Into an overbloomed heaven /n
Would scream my last /n
Departing paper boat /n /n
Goodbye America, oh, /n
Where I had never gone /n
Farewell, and for good now. /n
Get out your banjo, play me something /n
For the road /n /n
No, I can't fit anymore /n
Into your overpriced used Levis /n
Too damn long they would teach us /n
A yearning for your fruits kept out of reach /n
We’re so acutely conditioned /n
In loving of your scarce imperial kitsch /n /n
Goodbye America, oh /n
Where I would never go now /n
But would I still get to hear /n
A song I won't forget /n
Forevermore?

GOODBYE MESSAGE /n
Vyacheslav Butusov, Dmitry Umecky /n
Once all those songs fall silent /n
The ones I don't know /n
In the bitter air /n
My last cry will ring out... /n
Paper steamboat /n /n
Goodbye America, oh /n
Where I have never been /n
Farewell forever /n
Take the banjo, play for me /n
As a farewell /n /n
They have become too small for me /n
Your worn jeans /n
They taught us for so long /n
To love your forbidden fruits /n /n
They so cleverly instilled in us /n
A love for imperial-rare lies /n /n
Goodbye America, oh /n
Where I will never be /n
Will I hear a song /n
That I will remember /n
Forever?

ИССКУСТВО КАМЕННЫХ СТАТУЙ \n
(Авторы Песни: Deadушки (*группа)) \n \n
Опять на меня навалилась эта странная ночь, \n
Кто-то посеял страх в саду моего одиночества, \n
Тот, кто придет вторым, завтра будет расстрелян, \n
Похоронен в подвалах бульварных газет, \n
И оплакан птичьим крылом. \n \n
Выживет тот, кто умеет уснуть, будет спасен на время. \n
Я знаю, что время кончается там, где начинается сон. \n \n
Так же скульптура огромных форм: \n
Плотью булыжных каракуль \n
Смысл выявляет извечных гор \n
В искусство каменных статуй… \n
Искусство каменных статуй. \n \n
В саду моего одиночества дождь, капли охотятся стаей, \n
Но им никогда не удастся понять искусства каменных статуй. \n
Эта охота слабее меня – острые стрелы не ранят. \n
Может только стоять и смеяться волк, превращенный в камень. \n
Выживет тот , кто умеет уснуть, будет спасен на время, \n
Я знаю, что время поможет там, где начинается сон. \n \n
Так же скульптура огромных форм: \n
Плотью булыжных каракуль \n
Смысл выявляет извечных гор \n
В искусство каменных статуй… \n Искусство каменных статуй.

(Title:) ART OF STONE MONUMENTS \n (Songwriters: Deadushki (*band)) \n \n
Rolling on over me again, old stranger night is here, \n
Gardens of my hermeticism someone had sown with fear, \n
Yesterday's runner up was shot next to a wall by dawn, \n
Buried in tabloid basement jails, \n
Mourned by a songbird flown. \n \n
Those who survive learn how to sleep, saved for a span of time, \n
But I know: time must run out when dreams start to run inside. \n \n
Thus does the sculpting of massive forms \n
– Statues devised from slabs – \n
Makes for an art form of timeless stone: \n
Art of stone monuments… \n
Art of stone monuments. \n \n
Raining on gardens where I’m alone, raindrops still hunt in gangs, \n
But they shall never imbibe the full art of stone monuments! \n
I am much stronger than the hunt – sharpest of arrows bounce, – \n
Once this lone wolf, transformed to stone, forever stands and laughs. \n \n
Those who survive learn how to sleep, saved for a span of time, \n
Now I’ve learned: time might help us where dreams start to run inside. \n \n
There is an art of enormous forms: \n
Statues devised from slabs. \n
It is an art form of timeless stone: \n
Art of stone monuments… \n
Art of stone monuments.

A Craft of Rock Sculptures \n
Deadushki \n \n
This strange night has fallen upon me again, \n
Someone has sown fear in the garden of my loneliness, \n
The one who comes second will be shot tomorrow, \n
Buried in the basements of tabloid newspapers, \n
And mourned by a bird's wing. \n \n
Those who know how to sleep will survive, saved for a time. \n
I know that time ends where sleep begins. \n \n
So too with sculptures of enormous forms: \n
With flesh like cobblestone scribbles \n
Meaning reveals itself from eternal mountains \n
In the art of stone statues... \n
The art of stone statues. \n \n
In the garden of my loneliness, rain, drops hunt in flocks, \n
But they will never understand the art of stone statues. \n
This hunt is weaker than me—sharp arrows do not wound. \n
Only a wolf turned to stone can stand and laugh. \n
Those who know how to fall asleep will survive, will be saved for a time, \n
I know that time will help where sleep begins. \n \n
The same is true of sculptures of enormous forms: \n
With flesh like cobblestones \n
Meaning reveals the eternal mountains \n
In the art of stone statues... \n The art of stone statues.

Я ХОЧУ БЫТЬ С ТОБОЙ /n
(Авторы Песни: Илья Кормильцев, Вячеслав Бутусов) /n
Я пытался уйти от любви /n
Я брал острую бритву и правил себя /n
Я укрылся в подвале, я резал /n
Кожаные ремни, /n
Стянувшие слабую грудь /n /n
Я хочу быть с тобой /n
Я хочу быть с тобой /n
Я так хочу быть с тобой /n
Я хочу быть с тобой, /n
И я буду с тобой /n /n
Твоё имя давно стало другим /n
Глаза навсегда потеряли свой цвет /n
Пьяный врач мне сказал, тебя больше нет /n
Пожарный выдал мне справку: /n
Что дом твой сгорел! /n
НО /n
Я хочу быть с тобой… /n /n
В комнате с белым потолком, /n
С правом на надежду /n
В комнате с видом на огни, /n
С верою в любовь /n /n
Я ломал стекло, как шоколад в руке /n
Я резал эти пальцы за то, что они /n
Не могут прикоснуться к тебе /n
Я смотрел в эти лица и не мог им простить /n
Того, что у них нет тебя /n
И они могут жить /n
НО /n
Я хочу быть с тобой… /n
Я хочу быть с тобой /n
Я так хочу быть с тобой /n

(Title:) I WANT TO BE WITH YOU /n
(Songwriters: Ilya Kormiltsev, Vyacheslav Butusov) /n
I have tried to run out of love /n
I would take a sharp razor, refining myself /n
I would hide in the cellar, would slice /n
At the belts made of leather /n
Over a weak brittle chest /n /n
I want to be with you /n
I wanna be with you /n
I really want to be with you /n
I want to be with you /n
And I will be with you /n /n
Your name long ago ceased being the same /n
All color is forever gone from your eyes /n
A drunk doctor informed me you no longer exist /n
And a note from the fireman, it reads: /n
Your house had burned down! /n
BUT /n
I want to be with you… /n /n
In a snowy-ceilinged room /n
With a right to hope... And… /n
Looking out over the flames /n
While still believing love /n
I broke chunks of glass, like sweets in my hand /n
And I cut through these fingers, for they /n
Couldn't touch you again /n
I stared into these faces, and I couldn't forgive /n
How none of them have you /n
And yet, they could still live /n
BUT /n
I... Want to be with you /n
I wanna be with you /n
I really want to be with you /n
I want to be with you /n
And I will be with you /n /n

With a right to hope... And… /n

I’d like to stay together /n
Ilya Kormiltsev, Vyacheslav Butusov /n
I tried to run away from love /n
I took a sharp razor and cut myself /n
I hid in the basement, I cut /n
Leather straps, /n
Tightening my feeble chest /n /n
I’d like to be with you /n
I’d like to be together with you /n
I’d like so much to be together with you /n
I’d like to be with you, /n
And I shall be with you /n /n
Your name has long since changed /n
Your eyes have lost their color forever /n
A drunk doctor told me you were gone /n
The fireman gave me a certificate: /n
That your house burned down! /n
Yet /n
I’d like to stay together with you.. /n /n
In a space with a white ceiling, /n
With cause for hope /n
In a place with a view of the lights, /n
With faith in love /n /n
I broke the glass like chocolate in my hand /n
I cut these fingers for not being able /n
To touch you /n
I looked into these faces and couldn't forgive them /n
For not having you /n
But being able to live /n
Yet /n
I’d like to stay together with you /n
I’d like to be with you /n
I’d like so much to be together with you /n
I’d like to be with you, /n
And I shall be with you /n /n
In a space with a white ceiling, /n
With cause for hope /n
In a place with a view of the lights, /n
With faith in love

Lyrics to songs by seminal Soviet and Russian songwriters, poets, and bands.
Manually translated to English with a painstaking effort to cross-linguistically reproduce source texts' phrasal/phonetic, rhythmic, metric, syllabic, melodic, and other lyrical/performance-catered features, whilst retaining adequate semantic/significational fidelity.
This repo's variant of the dataset was compiled/structured for ORPO-style fine-tuning of LLMs.
The sampling herein constitues a variated inter-mixture of single-line lyrical fragments (appearing most frequently), entire songs, or/and verse/chorus-length song excerpts (often 4-line quatrains of 2x2 couplets in abab or aabb rhyme schemes).
Each row contains the following categories/columns: {instruction}, {input}, {accepted}, {rejected}.
{instruction} = detailed template/role-setting system prompt to reinforce the identification of the base model/LLM-assistant with the functional persona of an experienced Russian-American literary translator/poet/songwriter.
{input} = source lyrics (either song line, song segment (verse, chorus, etc), or entire song
{accepted} = "lyrically-informed" translation of the source lyric by an experienced/trained human literary translator and bilingual songwriter-performer,
{rejected} = direct/standard translation by an LLM (Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gwen3, and others) or a widely-used specialized translation software tool with stable, but unremarkable, translation abilities (DeepL)
