Da mi je jedan mali vasionski brod
na dva, tri dana da se poslužim s njim,
da malo procunjam kroz nebeski svod,
da naðem protivnike za Plavi tim.
Na ovom svetu oni vode glavnu reè
i ne znam s kim bi mogli igrati još?
Predlažem, da bi bio ravnopravan meè,
treba da pucaju na blindirani koš.
Æute Brazilci, Italijani,
Amerikanci negde po strani.
Æute i uèe k'o pravi ðaci,
lekciju drze Svetski prvaci
Žarmuhamedov rece Edešku
"Ti momci stvarno nemaju grešku"
A sve to sluša trener Kondrašin:
"Ja ih se deset godina plašim!"
Bar èetvrt metra da sam porastao još,
izmeðu koševa i ja bih bio car.
Ovako, pogled jedva ubacim u koš,
a loptu - to je sasvim iluzorna stvar.

If I had a little spaceship
for a couple of days to take it for a spin,
I'd cruise around the heavenly dome,
looking for rivals for the Blue team.
In this world, they call the shots
and I don’t know who else we could play?
I suggest, to make it a fair match,
they should shoot at the armored hoop.
The Brazilians are quiet, the Italians too,
Americans hanging out on the side.
They’re silent and learning like real students,
teaching a lesson to the World Champions.
Zharmukhamedov told Edeshko,
"These guys really have no flaws."
And all this is heard by Coach Kondrashin:
"I've been scared of them for ten years!"
If I had just grown another quarter meter,
between the hoops, I’d be the king.
As it is, I can barely get a look at the hoop,
and the ball - that’s just an illusion.
