| Blow, blow, another blow, another blow - and now
 | 
| Boris Budkeev (Krasnodar) delivers an uppercut.
 | 
| So he pressed me in the corner, so I barely left,
 | 
| Here is an uppercut, I'm on the floor, and I'm not feeling well.
 | 
| And Budkeev thought, crumbling my jaw:
 | 
| "And to live well, and life is good!"
 | 
| At the count of "seven" I'm still lying, my countrywomen are sobbing.
 | 
| I get up, dive, leave, and glasses suit me.
 | 
| It's not true, as if by the end I'm saving my strength, -
 | 
| I have not been able to hit a person in the face since childhood.
 | 
| But Budkeev thought, crushing my ribs:
 | 
| "And to live well, and life is good!"
 | 
| Whistle in the stands, howl in the stands: - Atu him, he is a coward! ..-
 | 
| Budkeev gets into close combat, and I press on to the ropes.
 | 
| But he got through - he is a Siberian, they are stubborn.
 | 
| And I said to him: "Freak!"  | 
| Tired after all, have a rest!
 | 
| But he did not hear, he thought, breathing,
 | 
| That life is good and life is good.
 | 
| And he beats everything - a healthy devil!  | 
| I see - there will be trouble.
 | 
| After all, boxing is not a fight, it is a sport of the brave, etc.
 | 
| So he hit one, two, three - and he himself lost his strength.
 | 
| The referee, whom I did not beat, raised my hand.
 | 
| He lay and thought: that life is good...
 | 
| To whom - good, and to whom - not a shish. |
