In student life, fun
We are losing count of the holidays.
And let in the hostel again
Happiness and joy will come to us.
Let's forget studying for a while
Let us put aside notebooks for a moment,
Let's put bottles of pepper and rum
On the table between lectures and books 2.

Perhaps the dean will condemn us,
Perhaps he only drinks kefir,
But all of us, comrades, people,
And every student will understand us.
When we're all close at the table
Of course, we cannot be sad.
Let's go glasses with ruby ​​poison
Let's raise for happiness, friends!

But the roads will scatter
The engineer's distance is visible.
But there were we Capricorns (once!),
We cannot forget about it.
Forget how we passed the tests,
Forget our beloved MAI.
Do you remember how we sipped vodka from cans
Eggplant caviar?

Our fate lurks somewhere
Trapped on a star track
Steel Mighty Bird
I must bring it to us.
And wherever, comrade, you are,
We studied together at MAI -
No wonder a piece of the azure sky
Shines on our chest!
