Текст песни Булат Окуджава - Песенка лисы Алисы и кота Базилио

About greedy, bouncers and fools

While the bouncers live in the world,
we must glorify our destiny.
What a blue sky!
We are not supporters of robbery.
A knife doesn’t need a bouncer:
you will sing him a little -
and do what you like with him.

As long as the greedy around
We won’t lose our luck.
What a blue sky!
We are not supporters of robbery.
A knife is not needed for greedy:
show him a penny
and do what you like with him.

As long as there are fools in the world,
deception we live, therefore, with the hand.
What a blue sky!
We are not supporters of robbery.
A fool doesn’t need a knife:
you’re lying to him with three boxes -
and do what you like with him.

What a blue sky!
These three live in the world.
Thank God there is no end to them.
As the saying goes, the beast runs -
and right on the catcher!
