Don't stand on a way of high feelings (BG)
"Mr. Greben..."
Juliet turned out a pirate,
And Romeo was a sea snake.
Their faces were clean,
And then began the heat.
Romeo read to her Shakespeare,
Sailors were crying out loud.
Captain tried to intervene,
But him a wave washed overboard;
Don't stand on a way of high feelings,
And if you stood up – step away,
It was said in the classics,
Was said in the calendars,
About it knows any dog:
Don't spit against the wind, don't stand on a way.
Last night on the square
Inquisitors burned someone.
Couples danced in the firelight,
And then someone's voice commanded: "Пли!"
Typical beginning of a new era
Of triumph of progressive ideas.
We could go down in history;
We thither haven't gone.
Don't stand on a way of high feelings,
And if you stood up – step away,
It was said in the classics,
Was said in the calendars,
About it knows any dog:
Don't spit against the wind, don't stand on a way.
(Bow-wow…)
Enchanter!
Then they got married
And all that this entailed,
Sailors were jubilant week,
And then, were carried away by grass.
Ivan Susanin was the first,
Who noticed, to where lies the course:
He came out on shore, stood up before forest ahead,
And to us with his back, and sang:
"Don't stand on a way of high feelings,
And if you stood up – step away,
It was said in the classics,
Was said in the calendars,
About it knows any dog:
Don't spit against the wind, don't stand on a way".
And the forest stepped aside, and all the children
were singing:
"Don't stand on a way of high feelings!"
