Золушка [Zolushka] [English translation]

Cinderella has many worries :

She needs to water the garden,

And the several irregular patches,

She's got to sew her ass together. 1

But the fairy said to her :

"Oh, Cinderella, be smart,

It's a shame to frolic in this dress,

When the Royal House is nearby.

For a moment you can come in,

And play the part,

And you'll be given a fur coat,

From the Blue King."2

The ball began,

As soon as the sun hid behind the hill ;

And Cinderella's crystal shoe,

Creating a furor.

And there were ecstatic knights, 3

Ready to get out of their armor ;

And a dwarf was all over the table

Kicking the salad. 4

Cinderella has many worries :

She needs to lead the dance,

She needs to be everywhere on time,

And she has to smile and sing. 5

And the Blue King was tender, 6

And he means it when he says :

"Yes, you're just like a fairy tale tonight,

And you'll be given a fur coat."

But Cinderella was sullen,

Her stare empty :

"King, I don't need gifts,

I'm just not that kind of girl."7

And the fairy said to her :

"Oh, Cinderella, be smart,

Morality is an inconvenient burden,

For those with empty pockets."

Late into the knight,

Moths slowly eat the coat away,

And it turns out that the dirty swine,

Is the Blue King. 8

And now with a bare foot,

Cinderella walks across the lands,

Her work isn't easy :

Forcing the scoundrel to take responsibility. 9

Cinderella a lot of problems :

Her luck has run out,

Who would've known that the king would've known

That he is avaricious for the crystal shoe

And the fairy is nowhere to be seen,

As Cinderella cannot sleep at night. 10

But the ones who never knew worries,

Would never understand her.

1. More comical way of taking this line. Her dress is in disrepair so she needs to repair it.2. Techincally this line should be read "The blue king will give you a fur coat" but Russian being like "Let's flip this bitch around" means we got this here.3. Not that ecstatic, this isn't Leningrad's Экстаз.4. 1. I change my mind about the knights and 2. I don't remember that in Cinderella.5. Basically she has to do everything at the ball. She must dance, go all over the place and she needs to do so while smiling and singing.6. Eh...take it how you like, silenced says it means tender or caressing so with the knights and now this, it's just a few lines short of an orgy.7. Or woman, or non-binary, or whatever you want Cinderella to be.8. Again, the proper way to read this line is "The blue king turns out to be a dirty swine.9. Possibly the Blue King.10. Out of worry or concern.
