Свадьба [Svatba] [English translation]

In the village, our neighbors spent their wedding,

We had been invited to this wedding at their homestead,

So we dressed up (Chorus: "We!"),

Put on the most elegant clothes (Chorus: "We all!"),

And together went where everything

Was very fine (Chorus: "Fine!")

And beautiful (Chorus: "Fine!").

We all understood we will be awfully drunk.

OK, let's go, booze calls us!

We will fill our spacious stomaches with vodka, yeah!

A wedding! Look at, they're going as if under guard!

Today a yoke has been put on someone.

A wedding! With applause,

Today someone voluntarily has become a henpecked man.

A wedding! Today all people are drinking,

Today everyone's celebrating and singing songs.

A wedding! It's impossible not to get drunk here!

A wedding! "Y'all have a good time, but I hafta get married!"

In sum, our legs carried madly us to the wedding,

There were horse-drawn footsteps on the country road,

We trampled all gooses before we came to the wedding,

Everyone and everything that ran across our way died.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, then we reached drink,

And we were having a lot of vodka until the late night.

Then we honorably took poles and crowbars,

We so much went crazy from the vodka, guys!

A wedding! Look at, they're going as if under guard!

Today a yoke has been put on someone.

A wedding! With applause,

Today someone voluntarily has become a henpecked man.

A wedding! Today all people are drinking,

Today everyone's celebrating and singing songs.

A wedding! It's impossible not to get drunk here!

A wedding! "Y'all have a good time, but I hafta get married!"

We were breaking the poles and crowbars against our backs,

After Midnight we began to go home,

Our hard way was passed through the old cemetery,

Each of us loudly vomited from fear,

And devils, fucking bitches, were impertinently jumping in front of us,

Guys, let's have 150 grams of vodka, and it won't be creepy,

But the more we drank (Chorus: "Drank!"),

The howling sounded louder... (Chorus: "Howling!")

...From those devils. Shit, we only aggravated our fear

Because of the vodka.

A wedding! Look at, they're going as if under guard!

Today a yoke has been put on someone.

A wedding! With applause,

Today someone voluntarily has become a henpecked man.

A wedding! Today all people are drinking,

Today everyone's celebrating and singing songs.

A wedding! It's impossible not to get drunk here!

A wedding! "Y'all have a good time, but I hafta get married!"

A wedding! Look at, they're going as if under guard!

Today a yoke has been put on someone.

A wedding! With applause,

Today someone voluntarily has become a henpecked man.

A wedding! Today all people are drinking,

Today everyone's celebrating and singing songs.

A wedding! It's impossible not to get drunk here!

A wedding! "Y'all have a good time, but I hafta get married!"
