I'm learning Russian, but I'm nowhere near being able to translate that what I'm looking for here...

I have a few songs from a Latvian music artist, where he sings a verse or two in these songs in Russian. I speak Latvian, so I understand the Latvian parts, but I'm looking for a transcription and translation for the Russian parts of these songs. If you're a Russian speaker, and there's a part of the song that you don't understand, odds are it is the Latvian part, so don't worry about translating that part.

I've uploaded the two songs I'm wondering about to YouSendIt, available here and here.

So to clarify: If you could provide a translation, as well as a transcription in Russian, that would be helpful. I can't find the lyrics anywhere online, and they're not in the CD insert either.

Спасибо!

It's quite broken Russian, and the idea behind the text is equally uninspiring. I would just skip that Russian stuff - you shouldn't miss much.

In case you're insisting, it starts with this:

жизнь меня бьет в бровь,
но я стою вновь,
будто руки бью в кровь,
но я стремлюсь, чтобы все получилось,
но вновь новая ступень
дается в новой парке,
снова новая проблема
в ноги ставит палки...

No, I can't continue, sorry...
It's like listening to the murmuring of a mental patient, it almost hurts.

All right, all right... Here is the translation of the qouted part.
I tried to make it as broken as it was in Russian, but here you need to be a native speaker I guess.

the life hits me in the eyebrow,
but I am standing up again,
like arms I hit to the blood,
but I'm striving to make everything as needed,
But again a new step
Given to me in the parka,
Again a new problem
Puts sticks into my legs.

Yuck!

The first part (maybe 1/3) of the Russian portion of the first (?) song, starting at around 15" and running for about a minute or more.
I haven't realized there were two songs.
