Kara Barabasza [English translation]

In an inn overlooking Golgote

You can drink with the lottery today

Blood is poured, golden wine,

The tables and the mouths of a candle are wet.

This tightness is a profit for the host,

Wandering around the city spreads chyza,

That a criminal can be seen here,

What has just emerged from the cross.

We live! Good ours!

What do you want from life, take for life!

Let us drink to Barabbas!

Barabbas drinks too!

He drinks but he has not regained his speech,

He has not yet realized that he is saved.

The hand that squeezes the cup of wine -

As if she was squeezing Bretnal's head

The feet under the table are crying in dance

Szalenc, who asks about the path:

Each of them is a convict,

And free! Alive! Impenetrable!

We live! Good ours!

What do you want from life, take for life!

Let us drink to Barabbas!

Barabbas drinks too!

The townspeople and the crowds are drinking,

The Zoldats put aside by the lance

And also drinks after hard work,

The whole city is having fun.

The viceroy gave evidence of a grace!

Without a cane - what would life be?

Toasts, chants and applause

- There is justice in this world!

We live! Good ours!

What do you want from life, take for life!

Let us drink to Barabbas!

Barabbas drinks too!

Barabbas roared with a laugh at last,

Rece spread wide -

And a new message went around the city:

- Lives! Just kidding, the beast is healthy!

In the palace you can hear what's shining

It is in vain to Pilat to sleep old,

He dances idly in his memory

Words - politics, crowd and faith ...

We live! Good ours!

What do you want from life, take for life!

Let us drink to Barabbas!

Barabbas drinks too!

In an inn overlooking Golgote

The light of dawn jumps over the shells,

The landlord ran the holote away

And he counts the profit. Barabbas is crying.

We live! Good ours!

What do you want from life, take for life!

Let us drink to Barabbas!

Barabbas, man too!
