| Either in a fairy tale, or in a song, ay-yai-yai,
|
| Only in some kingdom, ah-ah-ah,
|
| There lived Shalyai-Valyay.
|
| He came up with a city for himself: ah-ah-ah
|
| Fences across the roads, ah-ah-ah!
|
| Calling Shalyai-Valyaem.
|
| Chorus:
|
| Go ahead, how not to laugh?
|
| Sleep on the go all the waifs!
|
| Go ahead, go ahead, how not to shed a tear?
|
| Words are like sugar, sugar is like mustard.
|
| Everything was done there half-heartedly, ah-ah-ah
|
| They asked each other for a loan ah-ah-ah!
|
| Rain and wind in the field.
|
| Clever bumps stuffed ah-ah-ah!
|
| Then they played the fool, ah-ah-ah!
|
| And the king was pleased!
|
| Chorus:
|
| Go ahead, how not to laugh?
|
| Sleep on the go all the waifs!
|
| Go ahead, go ahead, how not to shed a tear?
|
| Words are like sugar, sugar is like mustard.
|
| They didn't sing in this city, ah-ah-ah!
|
| We drank there seven times a week, ah-ah-ah!
|
| And in the daytime and in the dark night, therefore, without delay, ay-yai-yai!
|
| It collapsed from laziness, oh oh oh oh!
|
| When, I don't remember exactly.
|
| Chorus:
|
| how not to laugh?
|
| Sleep on the go all the waifs!
|
| Go ahead, go ahead, how not to shed a tear?
|
| Words are like sugar, sugar is like mustard.
|
| Go ahead, how not to laugh?
|
| Sleep on the go all the waifs!
|
| Go ahead, go ahead, how not to shed a tear?
|
| Words are like sugar, sugar is like mustard. |
