Düsseldorf [Russian translation]

In Düsseldorf I met a clown

His nose, it was red

In Gelterkinden I forgot to frown

Then remembered again

In Paris I saw a big fish

Swimming slow in the Seine

It made me hopeful that someday our water

Would be breathable again

In Frankfurt I heard eins zwei drei

Counting cookies and no one was shot

In Berlin stopped by the Polizei

For drunk driving and everyone smiled

In Prague I knew I'd been a witch

Burnt alive, a pyre of Soviet kitsch

It made me miss my Moscow muttdom

It made me miss my New York nothing

In Montpelier I stayed in a chateau

A boy climbed into my bed and he knew no boundaries

In Amsterdam I got quite crazy

It might have been all the tulips and canals

Or it might have been all that hash, and in

Barcelon, buenos dias, chocolato, le Picasso

And in Brussels, clean-cut hostel

And in London, me and the French existentialists

In Corsica I floated away, all the way to Marseilles

I should have held an after party for all the thoughts I didn't say

In Düsseldorf I met a dwarf

With bad breath and a really good tan

In Gelterkinden I remembered how to laugh

And I never ever forgot it again
