| Иван — Дурак валялся на печке,
| Ivan - The fool was lying on the stove,
|
| Иван решил пойти да в чисто поле,
| Ivan decided to go to the open field,
|
| Схватить за хвост Горыныча Змея —
| Grab Gorynych the Serpent by the tail -
|
| Захотелось ему портмоне из кожи.
| He wanted a leather purse.
|
| Но что топор против огнемета,
| But what is an ax against a flamethrower,
|
| А то и трех (зависит от породы змея)!
| Or even three (depending on the breed of the snake)!
|
| Ушел Иван да в белой рубахе
| Ivan left in a white shirt
|
| И воротился назад с деревянной ногой.
| And he came back with a wooden leg.
|
| Припев:
| Chorus:
|
| Не успели! | Did not have time! |
| Опоздали!
| We're late!
|
| Не ко времени, не к месту.
| Out of time, out of place.
|
| Видно, нас не так рожали,
| Apparently, we were not born like that,
|
| Не из того лепили теста.
| The dough was not molded from that.
|
| Иван построил шалаш из веток,
| Ivan built a hut from branches,
|
| Любимая! | Darling! |
| Вот тебе рай навеки!
| Here is your paradise forever!
|
| Царевна крутит любовь с Кащеем,
| The princess turns love with Kashchei,
|
| Ведь тот уж давно ей дворец сварганил.
| After all, he had already bungled the palace for her a long time ago.
|
| Царевна ездит на мерседесе,
| The princess drives a Mercedes
|
| Кащей — он, как ни крути, бессмертный.
| Kashchei is, whatever one may say, immortal.
|
| Шалаш зеленый — но промокает,
| The hut is green - but it gets wet,
|
| А от любви случаются дети.
| And from love children happen.
|
| Припев:
| Chorus:
|
| Не успели! | Did not have time! |
| Опоздали!
| We're late!
|
| Не ко времени, не к месту.
| Out of time, out of place.
|
| Видно, нас не ожидали,
| Apparently, we were not expected
|
| Не из того родили места.
| Places were not born from that.
|
| Тогда Иван решил построить корабль,
| Then Ivan decided to build a ship,
|
| Летучий, как мышь, али просто птица,
| Flying like a mouse or just a bird
|
| Пилил деревья со страшной силой,
| Sawed trees with terrible force,
|
| Летели щепки на двор и дальше.
| Chips flew into the yard and beyond.
|
| Но тут какому-то недотепе
| But here some fool
|
| Попало яблочко прямо в темя.
| The apple hit right in the crown.
|
| Он ляпнул что-то про тяготение,
| He blurted out something about gravity,
|
| С тех пор корабли ВАЩЕ не летают!
| Since then, ships have NOT been flying!
|
| (обидно, досадно, да ладно…)
| (It's embarrassing, annoying, oh well...)
|
| Припев:
| Chorus:
|
| Не успели! | Did not have time! |
| Опоздали!
| We're late!
|
| Не ко времени, не к месту.
| Out of time, out of place.
|
| Видно, нас не так рожали,
| Apparently, we were not born like that,
|
| Не из того лепили теста.
| The dough was not molded from that.
|
| Тогда Иван решил пойти утопиться,
| Then Ivan decided to go drown himself,
|
| Чтобы в следующей жизни родиться богатым.
| To be born rich in the next life.
|
| Но тут его забрали в милицию…
| But then he was taken to the police ...
|
| За купание в фонтане!
| For swimming in the fountain!
|
| Припев:
| Chorus:
|
| Не успели! | Did not have time! |
| Опоздали!
| We're late!
|
| Не ко времени, не к месту.
| Out of time, out of place.
|
| Видно, нас не ожидали,
| Apparently, we were not expected
|
| Не из того родили места. | Places were not born from that. |
