Текст песни Высоцкий Владимир - Жираф большой, ему видней.

In the yellow hot Africa ,
In its central part ,
Somehow suddenly , out of schedule ,
Misfortune .
Elephant said, do not understand:
- It is seen to be the deluge ! ..-
In general, as follows: a Giraffe
Fell in love with antelope.

Here hubbub rose and barking ,
And only the old Parrot
Shouted branches :
- Giraffe big - he knows better !

Pope antelope
Why such a son ?
Anyway - that in his forehead ,
What's forehead - all may be one .
And giraffes in-law whine :
- Did you see dunce ? -
And went to live buffalo
With giraffe antelope .

Here hubbub rose and barking ,
And only the old Parrot
Shouted branches :
- Giraffe big - he knows better !

- Well, that horn at her? -
Shouted Giraffe lyubovno.-
Now in our fauna
Equal to one and all !
If all my relatives
Will she not happy -
Do not blame me -
I'll go out of the herd !

Here hubbub rose and barking ,
And only the old Parrot
Shouted branches :
- Giraffe big - he knows better !

In the yellow hot Africa
Do not see idylls .
Pour Giraffe with Zhirafihoy
Tears of crocodiles.
Only sorrow not help -
There is now law.
The daughter of a giraffe
Married to Buffalo .

Let Giraffe was wrong ,
But not guilty of the Giraffe ,
And the one who shouted from the branches :
- Giraffe big - he knows better !
