Lyube (Любэ)





Старые друзья








Не валяй дурака, Америка!







DON'T FOOL AROUND, AMERICA!

Don’t fool around,
America!
Here’s some valenki –
You must be freezing,
For Siberia and Alaska –
The two shores are the same.

Hot-house, vodka,
Accordion, and salmon
Hot-house, vodka,
Accordion, and salmon

Don’t fool around,
America, –
You are bored behind the seas,
Are you not?
For Siberia and Alaska –
The two shores are the same.

Women, horses,
Thrills along the way!
Women, horses,
Thrills along the way!

Streets are dark,
Girls are great,
With real pleasure
We’ll dance for you a quadrille,
For Siberia and Alaska –
The two shores are the same.

Wedding, eh,
Steamed bubble.
Wedding, eh,
Steamed bubble.

We’ve a lot of
Red cloth –
We’ll make shirts
For all of you, brothers.
Eh, the Crown
Of the Russian Empire

Catherine,
You were wrong
Catherine,
You were wrong

Don’t fool around,
America.
We won’t bite,
Didn’t we make that clear?
Give us our land,
Alaska,
Give us our darling
Back!
Give us our darling
Back!


Translation by Ana. (Of course Alaska was sold not by Catherine II, but by Alexander II)





Давай-наяривай
