Текст песни Вероника Долина - Когда б мы жили без затей...

If we could live without hardship,
I give birth to children
From everyone loved -
Of all types and stripes.

And, stroking the head of chicks,
I remembered used their fathers,
One - fathers of families,
Other - just youngsters.

They would not touch a need,
Internecine strife -
Were too dissimilar b
Chicks of the nest.

Sage teach the fool,
How to live for sure.
Fool let learn to take
Eat, how life is sweet.

Sister teaches spin-ninny.
Sister teaches thief to steal.
Sister-nun to teach them
Pray that no abyss.

When I had to do the old,
Around the set table
All of my dozen descendants
Once collected b.

How unlike his brother,
But as glad to see his brother!
And the fact that these brothers are similar,
A hundred times more expensive.

If we could live without hardship,
I give birth to children
From everyone loved -
Of all types and stripes.
