| Twilight, semicircle, half-quivering Italian mouth draws wine,
|
| And the faded green of banknotes merges with the bright color of the casino cloth.
|
| "Grandmas" instead of birches rustle over Maskva, "Mercedes" and fire girls,
|
| But the concepts here are overgrown with tryn-grass, shelupon violates the law.
|
| My comrade lived his life behind the owner, respecting his detectives,
|
| And early in the morning, the patron laid him on a thawed patch in the old yard.
|
| But they did not touch us and did not touch them on the day when they buried their friend.
|
| And today they shoot for a pair of "obliques", failing to separate the two "pieces".
|
| Chorus:
|
| And legitimate thieves are very nice people, well, all my friends (and many are loved ones)
|
| They remember their youth and toil at night - their faith is broken.
|
| What was once painfully dear, today they will sell for a penny.
|
| Autumn, with a red tail, covers the traces that lead to the temple.
|
| The faces of the holy Orthodox icons are crying and the Jews have forgotten the Talmud,
|
| And the shellfish plays with his muscle at the stalls, and the "roosters" sing about the prison.
|
| Chorus:
|
| And legal thieves (yes, there are several of them in the country) are very modest people and in truth
|
| sharp,
|
| But the truth is a good thing, yes, only forgotten, shattered to smithereens.
|
| Once upon a time, the only polar circle replaced nine circles of hell for me,
|
| And today I will exchange roses for true friends for wind roses.
|
| Friends fly away to foreign lands beyond the Russian sick horizon,
|
| But before, they had enough rags at home, because thieves kept the law.
|
| Chorus:
|
| And legitimate thieves are very nice people, well, all my friends (and many are loved ones)
|
| They remember their youth and toil at night - their faith is broken.
|
| Semicircle, twilight, half-quivering Italian mouth draws wine,
|
| And the faded green of banknotes merges with the bright color of the casino cloth.
|
| "Grandmas" instead of birches rustle over the country, "Mercedes" and fire girls,
|
| But the concepts here are overgrown with tryn-grass, shelupon violates the law.
