Начальник [Nachal'nik] [English translation]

Boss - you damn, greedy,

non-money paying, money-grubbing cheat,

Misery on you, misfortune, devastation and grief!

Extortion of your business, default on your office

Shame on you, bastard, reptile, skinflint,

I hope you get sold a stolen logo

I hope someone else uses your slogan

I wish urine in your cognac and cement in your cocaine,

A pip on your tongue, herpes on your forehead, hemorrhoids in your pants

I hope that your rent is raised threefold

I hope that your kickbacks don’t roll back

I hope your secretary infects you but it’s not clear with what,

I hope your investments sell at a loss,

I hope SWAT teams show up at your bookkeeper's

I hope your woman moves in with the masseuse,

I hope half a trolley plows into your bumper

I hope your investors demand their money back,

I hope that your clients chase you down and sue you

That the alarm howls in your office

I hope the utility company blocks your sewer,

That firefighters pour sand in your lobby,

I wish the electric company issues you a huge fine,

I wish the sanitary inspection office is quarantined,

I wish that all your accounts are frozen, scum,

That your vice president gets spooked and quits,

That you drop the soap in the sauna with a mob boss,

That the Patriach demands tithes,

That the IRS asks for bribes but you don't have enough money,

I wish that the FSB investigates you closely,

With all their cars outside so it's obvious to everyone,

I wish the cops won't even take your money,

That your lawyer lays low in Senegal,

That suddenly your subpoenas from the recruiting office arrive,

So your gigantic "profits" are all over the news,

I hope the blood sugar in your urine rises,

That you’re on Russia’s most wanted list,

I hope that you gain 100 kilograms,

That you catch the interest of all the human rights activists and bloggers,

That there's been a warrant for your arrest for three years,

I wish that you’re not even released to Cyprus,

That your phone is bugged three times

and hemorrhoids in your pants, I remind you,

I hope you jump off balcony but don’t die

I hope the police investigator manhandles you,

I wish that your company is distributed to the government,

and, finally, that you understand - all of this because of that miserable salary

I wish you share a jail cell with a bumfucker,

You black stain on the snow-white expanse of the Russian economy.
