Но сожалений горьких нет - как нет!
А мы монтажники - высотники, да!
И с высоты вам шлём привет.- Ne kočegary my, ne plotniki,
No sožalenij gorʹkix net - kak net!
A my montažniki - vysotniki, da!
I s vysoty vam šljom privet. - We are neither stokers nor carpenters;
Yet bitter regrets none - just none!
Still, we are installers - steeplejacks - aye!
And from on high we send you greetings.
