When I was young, I went to school,
and I learned what is mine, and what is yours.
And when all had been learned,
it seemed to me that it was not all.
And I had no breakfast to eat,
and others, they had:
And thus in the end I learned all, indeed
about the nature of the class enemy.
And I learned, why and for what reason
there is a rift across the world.
And it remains between us, since the rain
falls downwards.

And they said to me: If I am well-behaved,
then I'll become their kind.
But I thought: If I'm a sheep,
I'll never become butcher.
And I saw one and another of us
who took the bait.
And when to him happened what happened
to you and to me,
then he was astonished.
But as for me, I wasn't amazed,
soon I discovered what their game is:
The rain, as it is, falls downwards
and, as it is, doesn't fall upwards.
