| Wine has virtues, they say, healing,
 | 
| I decided to try - I took the bottle, opened it ...
 | 
| Suddenly, something obscene came out:
 | 
| Maybe a green snake, or maybe a crocodile!
 | 
| Well, if I decide something, I will definitely drink something,
 | 
| But I am very negative about these jokes!
 | 
| And it is green, smelly, nasty -
 | 
| Jumped around the room, walked shaking,
 | 
| And then a mournful singing was heard -
 | 
| And the vision turned out to be a rude man!
 | 
| Well, if I decide something, I will definitely drink something,
 | 
| But I am very negative about these jokes!
 | 
| After all, if I had time at least an hour -
 | 
| I would call the janitors with brooms, and then
 | 
| I remembered the children's detective - "Old Man Hottabych" -
 | 
| And he asked: “Comrade ibn, what is your name?”
 | 
| After all, if I decide something, I will definitely drink,
 | 
| But I am very negative about these jokes!
 | 
| “So the trick,” I say, “throw your Judas,
 | 
| So, directly answer: who sent you
 | 
| And who drove you here, into a wine vessel,
 | 
| Who were you hiding from and what were you hiding?”
 | 
| Here the man bows, answers politely:
 | 
| "I'm not a thief or a spy, I'm actually a spirit,
 | 
| And for my freedom - if you want -
 | 
| I’ll beat anyone for you, maybe even two!”
 | 
| Then I realized: this is a genie, he can do a lot,
 | 
| He can say to me: "I'll turn it into gold at once!"
 | 
| “Your proposal,” I say, “is poor.
 | 
| We'll beat the faces after - I want wine!
 | 
| Well, and after - miracles to me on this occasion:
 | 
| I want a palace to heaven - that's why you're a demon!.."
 | 
| And he told me: “We are not at all trained in such matters,
 | 
| And except for massacres - no miracles!" -
 | 
| "You're lying!" I shout. "You're naughty!"  | 
| I scream.  | 
| But the spirit is also in ambition,
 | 
| He knocked once - a specialist, you can see from him!
 | 
| Well, of course, I ran, I called the police.
 | 
| “They kill,” I say, “right at home!”
 | 
| So they drove up - they showed the asp!
 | 
| He couldn't do anything against the police:
 | 
| The sick man was taken out, his hands behind his back,
 | 
| And on a grand scale they threw it into the "black funnel".
 | 
| …What happened to him?  | 
| Maybe he's toiling in jail.
 | 
| But than in a bottle, it's better to sit in Butyrka!
 | 
| Well, maybe he's into boxing now?
 | 
| If he performs, I'll go watch! |
