Текст песни Юлий Ким - Герцогиня

Duchess

And in Moscow, and elsewhere, with whoever we bordered ,
And in bad weather and in fair weather , and again , and again ,
Duchess throughout to keep up appearances -
That's what she does not take away !

And among savages , whose dreadful customs,
And in the dungeon of darkness , and in the realm of shadows ,
Duchess throughout to keep up appearances -
That's what did not take away from her !

Even as the demon of evil and duplicity ,
Indulging in sensuality and vodka the wilderness,
Duchess throughout to keep up appearances -
And I do not eat asparagus with knife
Never!..
