The Abduction [Finnish translation]

[ANATOLE]

Everyone raise a glass! Whoa...

Well, comrades

We’ve had our fun

Lived, laughed and loved

Friends of my youth

When shall we meet again?

I’m going abroad

Goodbye my Gypsy lovers

All my revels here are over

Well, goodbye, Matryosha

Kiss me one last time, whoa

Remember me to Steshka

There, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Wish me luck my Gypsy lovers

Now goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[ALL]

Goodbye my Gypsy lovers

All my revels here are over

Well, goodbye, Matryosha

Kiss me one last time, whoa

Remember me to Steshka

There, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Wish me luck my Gypsy lovers

Now goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[ANATOLE]

Now drink!

[ALL]

Hurrah!

Smash the glasses on the floor!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

[PIERRE]

Whoa!

Here’s to happiness, freedom, and life!

May your travel be swift as a scythe cuts through the grass!

[ALL]

Whoa...

Whoa...

[PIERRE]

May your sorrows be counted and numbered as many

As drops of wine and vodka that stay in my glass!

[ALL]

Whoa...

Whoa...

[PIERRE]

Poekhali!

Come on, let’s go!...

[ANATOLE]

Wait, wait, wait!

Shut the door!

First we have to sit down!

Yes, that’s the way

It’s a Russian custom

All right

[DOLOKHOV]

Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Where’s the fur cloak?

Huh?

I have heard what elopements are like

She’ll rush out more dead than alive

Just in the things she is wearing

If you delay at all, there’ll be tears and “Papa” and “Mama”

And she’s frozen in a minute and must go back

But you wrap the fur cloak 'round her

And you carry her to the sleigh

That’s the way

That’s the way

[ALL]

That’s the way

That’s the way

[BALAGA]

Let’s get outta here!

And the troika tore down Nikitski Boulevard

Whoa! Giddyup, now! Whoa! Whoa!

[ALL]

Hey Balaga

Ho Balaga

Hey hey ho Balaga

Hey hey Balaga

The famous troika driver

Hey Balaga

Ho Balaga

Hey hey hey Balaga

Hey hey Balaga

The famous troika driver

[DOLOKHOV]

When they reached the gate Dolokhov whistled

The whistle was answered, and a maidservant ran out

[MAIDSERVANT]

Come in through the courtyard or you’ll be seen; she’ll come out directly

[DOLOKHOV]

Dolokhov stayed by the gate

Anatole followed the maid into the courtyard

Turned the corner, ran up to the porch

[MARYA D.]

You will not enter my house, scoundrel!

[DOLOKHOV]

Anatole, come back!

Betrayed! Betrayed!

Betrayed, Anatole! Betrayed!

Come back!

Betrayed, Anatole! Betrayed! Betrayed!
