| Is it good for a young man to be unmarried,
|
| He toiled for thirty years - shook his head.
|
| Yes, he went out into the field, put cotton wool in his ears,
|
| So as not to load the greedy, girlish howl.
|
| And at night in the field it is deaf as in a grave,
|
| Relics and rust and the creak of crows' wings.
|
| For a long time you toiled, the owl told him,
|
| The girls are all in London, and there is no trace of them.
|
| Chorus:
|
| God lived on the icon, jumped out the window,
|
| The trace of his golden mud covered up.
|
| Beware of my black gold chervonets joy
|
| Yes, I didn’t save myself from myself.
|
| Oh, baboons, swoop in, children,
|
| You need to drink - here's your heart from a hammer.
|
| There is no other such Motherland in the world,
|
| Everyone would dream like that, but their guts are thin.
|
| And over the white lake the clouds are curling,
|
| Is it fish smoking, or just like that,
|
| And from my hole the songs are pouring,
|
| They pour and pour, everything will not pour out in any way.
|
| Chorus:
|
| God lived on the icon, jumped out the window,
|
| The trace of his golden mud covered up.
|
| Beware of my black gold chervonets joy
|
| Yes, I didn’t save myself from myself.
|
| Warden of the Cemetery, Sisters of Long Life,
|
| Three Razor Brothers and Horse Driver -
|
| Accept as a gift my Song of the Fatherland
|
| And spare Her, and all of us, and me. |
