| I returned to Odessa,
|
| I walk like a Pes
|
| And I scratch my heels on pebbles.
|
| The soles are still sopped,
|
| The wheels are barely
|
| They hold on to my heels, but I'm in a hurry.
|
| There is a lining on the jacket -
|
| There is a solid payment,
|
| And the collar is pricked, she-she-she.
|
| With all my seizures
|
| I'm in kid gloves
|
| And "kiss-kiss-kiss" is on my neck.
|
| Besides, let's face it,
|
| My Odessa-mother
|
| Always ready to take me in.
|
| She is always support
|
| Are you a king or a pawn,
|
| At least it's more pleasant to be a king in life.
|
| Let me be poor now
|
| I still dream about dinner, -
|
| But five minutes - and I'm rich again!
|
| The lorry will drive up
|
| Will load peti-meti, -
|
| And again, I will not even become a brother.
|
| Or maybe on a cart
|
| I'll get the money in the bank
|
| And the machine gun will give me a receipt.
|
| When they learn to shoot
|
| The seals slam
|
| But the horses will take us away, and I will sing again.
|
| Besides, let's face it,
|
| My Odessa-mother
|
| Always ready to take me in.
|
| She is always support
|
| Are you a king or a pawn,
|
| At least it's more pleasant to be a king in life.
|
| I go past the ment
|
| With a gait, with a compliment, -
|
| Tell yourself he stands at his post!
|
| You are very tanned, they say,
|
| Say, they say, documents, -
|
| In our opinion - ksivuhu, that is, ksivotu!
|
| And I will answer him
|
| As if I don't notice
|
| And then I will finish slowly.
|
| You don’t see profit at point-blank range, -
|
| Seki, who has come to you!
|
| You stand - and stop, the attic is empty and kinder sha!
|
| Besides, let's face it,
|
| My Odessa-mother
|
| Always ready to take me in.
|
| She is always support
|
| Are you a king or a pawn,
|
| At least it's more pleasant to be a king in life. |
