This is a song called "Amazing what progress has accomplished" from a 1979 film done in Odessa film studio.  The film is a children's movie called "Adventures of a Young Robot," and it had some great songs.  This one is my favourite; enjoy!

Translation of lyrics:

It's amazing what progress has accomplished;
It's produced wonders never seen before;
It's descended to the depths
And ascended to the skies;
Hassles and troubles are forgotten,
Rushing about has stopped,
Robots are the ones working hard,
Not humans.

It's amazing what progress has accomplished;
Physical labour has disappeared;
And even mental work has been substituted
By mechanical processes,
Hassles and troubles are forgotten,
Rushing about has stopped,
Robots are the ones working hard,
Not humans.

It's amazing what progress has accomplished;
There used to be barely enough time for everything,
And now one can wander about the world at will,
Singing a song if one wishes,
Silently if one wishes.
Hassles and troubles are forgotten,
Rushing about has stopped,
Robots are the ones working hard
And humans are happy.
