The people thought: there is the dawn,
the long-awaited end has come.
The people went to ask the tsar.
lead - for the answer in return.
Ah, low despot! For all time
In blood you are now, in blood.
because you were a worthless man,
now you became a beast of mud.
But worker's blood has risen up,
Like an ear, in front of him.
And flutteres minion of the bad
Before the ear like this.
He's red, there is no sickle for him -
Any one will break off.
are buzz like a crowd the ears of wheat,
The ears of corn grow.
And every ear is a sharp knife,
And every ear - a sight.
No, tsar, now you will not come up,
No, sneaky king, go back!
You can not fool us any more -
The ninth of January.
You're a king- lie therefore,
the king, you will be heaved!

ЦАРЬ-ЛОЖЬ
Народ подумал: вот - заря,
Пришел тоске конец.
Народ пошел - просить царя.
Ему в ответ - свинец.
А, низкий деспот! Ты навек
В крови, в крови теперь.
Ты был ничтожный человек,
Теперь ты грязный зверь.
Но кровь рабочего взошла,
Как колос, перед ним.
И задрожал приспешник зла
Пред колосом таким.
Он красен, нет ему серпа, -
Обломится любой.
Гудят колосья, как толпа,
Растет колосьев строй.
И каждый колос - острый нож,
И каждый колос - взгляд.
Нет, царь, теперь не подойдешь,
Нет, подлый царь, назад!
Ты нас теперь не проведешь
Девятым января.
Ты - царь, и, значит, весь ты ложь
И мы сметем царя!
The PEOPLE welcome coronation of the new tsar because they trust him and expect him to rule wisely. But he is actually a terrible ruler, disappointing all their hopes.I recall a WHO song from the 60's
