Ya skazhu tebe s poslednej
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ya skazhu tebe s poslednej Pryamotoj: Vse lish` bredni – sherri-brendi, – Angel moj. Tam, gde e`llinu siyala Krasota, Mne iz cherny'x dy'r ziyala Sramota. Greki sbondili Elenu Po volnam, Nu, a mne – solenoj penoj Po gubam. Po gubam menya pomazhet Pustota, Strogij kukish mne pokazhet Nishheta. Oj li, tak li, duj li, vej li – Vse ravno; Angel Me`ri, pej koktejli, Duj vino. YA skazhu tebe s poslednej Pryamotoj: Vse lish` bredni – sherri-brendi, – Angel moj.
