Lyrics
Intro - Instrumental
From my old man I was told,
Booze will warm you when it’s cold,
Helps you when the times are tough,
It’s a friend, and that’s enough!
«Ну, не пей так много, друг,
Жизнь не только твой кабак!
Будешь слабым, упадёшь,
Силу, радость ты сорвёшь!»
Drink for joy and drink for sorrow,
Drink today and drink tomorrow,
At the wedding, at the wake,
Till your legs begin to shake.
«Стоп, любимый, не спеши,
В водке правды не ищи!
Путь прямой держи всегда,
Пьяный — сердце без ума!»
Beer is good and wine is fine,
Why not be drunk all the time?
«Пиво сладко, вино жгёт,
Но здоровье не вернёт!»
I drank last night, and I’ll drink tonight,
And tomorrow too, I’ll drink with delight!
I drank last night, and I’ll drink tonight,
And tomorrow too, I’ll drink with delight!
Для семьи держи бокал,
Но не пей, чтоб не упал!
С ними будь в любви, в тепле,
А не только в кабаке!»
When I stumble home each night,
My dear wife sets things just right,
Three empty glasses on the board,
One for each—she keeps the score.
Для семьи держи бокал,
Но не пей, чтоб не упал!
С ними будь в любви, в тепле,
А не только в кабаке!»
I drink double, that’s no lie,
No one here can quite deny,
I’m the boss inside my home,
Darling, don’t you start to moan!
«Настоящий сильный муж
Без вина построит путь!
Слушай, милый, хватит пить,
Надо трезвым тоже жить!»
Beer is good and wine is fine,
Why not be drunk all the time?
I drank last night, and I’ll drink tonight,
And tomorrow too, I’ll drink with delight!
And the next night too, I’ll still carry on,
Till the pain in my head is gone,
Till the pain is gone..
