Strange childhood, I grew up almost a moron,
|
At school, all my friends called me Crocodile,
|
But even then I dreamed of speed
|
And in school notebooks, the Cossacks drew.
|
Difficult childhood, I grew up a degenerate,
|
At school, all my friends called me Carburetor,

On a wooden wheelbarrow I drove around the yard

And to the envy of everyone, he sang this song:

We fly like an arrow

My Zaporozhian!

I was demobilized and became a citizen.
|
I thought I could not live without armored personnel carriers and tanks.
