Well, my pick would be in Russian, so I'd hesitate to post it here, but what the hell.
It's honestly the saddest thing I've ever heard, and the song didn't make it onto the band's studio albums. It's a fairly mild piece musically, but lyrically it mixes sadness with some very harsh imagery.
All too relevant as it was written by the singer shortly after losing his wife at around age 30.
Translated from Russian wrote:DDT - Beda (Tragedy)
The starving winter
Has grown out wings
Grey dirt
From the moon to the cross
Drowned houses
Like awful nightmares
Like a hungry slut
After a fast
Rivers are flattened
By a rolling wind
From the branches crawls out
An empty green noise
The water squeaks out
The East celebrates
Smirking intently -
West-contrabandist
Tragedy has poured down
Like water over fire
Squeezed its ugly face against the window
Looking into the house
I'm losing my mind
Yes I'm losing my mind
I covered my windows with heavy sleep
With cold ice...
Cats have a meeting
Of all the cat castes
Snow in holes, like memory
And countless crows
Each mutt has a ticket
But the bitch won't have all
Everything melts:
Both love and revenge
But I'm not glad for this warmth,
I stopped liking the dawn
I sit here in the dark
Barely moving my hand
And I'm starting to think
That I'm no longer there
Because you aren't there,
You're no longer with me
Tragedy has poured down
Like water over fire
Squeezed its ugly face against the window
Looking into the house
I'm losing my mind
Yes I'm losing my mind
I covered my windows with heavy sleep
With cold ice
The earth is swearing,
It skin on the whales
Turning its beaten sides
Towards the warmth
The sun has kicked
The sky in the groin
Trees stick out,
Up to knees in nonsense
With a full breakdown
Of the world, spring
Is saluting to us,
That it turned out fine
Smelling new flavours,
The bastard-country
Everything's ready to live,
You alone weren't saved
Tragedy has poured down
Like water over fire
Squeezed its ugly face against the window
Looking into the house
I'm losing my mind
Yes I'm losing my mind
I covered my windows with heavy sleep
With cold ice
Pinetree - gallows
Rain - flood
Parting - tragedy
Is now at my door
Homing birds
Scream between my lines
I'm wiping the eyes
Off my own face
I don't need them,
Because you are no more
Memory drowns
In a puddle of shreds
I swallow the last
Flame of my cigarette
I let it into my house -
I'm in the clutches of spring!
Tragedy has poured down
Like water over fire
Squeezed its ugly face against the window
Looking into the house
I'm losing my mind
Yes I'm losing my mind
I covered my windows with heavy sleep
With cold ice...
