Russian Birthday Song
I can't explain the
melody, but here are the
words.
Poost begoot neooklyooshl
Peshehodee po loosham
Ee
voda po
asfaltoo rekoi
Ee neyasno prohosheem
V etot
dyen nepogoshee
pochemoo ya vesyelee takoi
Chorus: sing twice
Ee ya
eegrayoo na garmoshkye
Oo prohosh na veedoo
K soshaleneeyoo
dyen roshdneeya
Tolko raz v
godoo
Translation:
So what if (
Literally 'Let') pedestrians run
clumsily through
puddles
and water is flowing along the asphalt like a river.
It's unclear to the passers-by
On this horrible (from the point of view of
weather) day
Why I am so
happy (
merry).
I am playing the accordion.
In front of (in the sight of) the passers-by
Unfortunately,
my birthday
Is only once a year.
(Repeat the last two lines)
