Lyrics and translation Любэ - Elki-palki

Elki-palki

Paren' shiol s devitsej v les,
On imel k nej interes.
A iz lesa shiol i spal,
Okh kak interes upal!
A devitsa ehta vot,
Tam sovsem naoborot,
Kak poshli v kudriavyj les,
Srazu razygralsia oj-da! interes!
Pripev.
Iolki-palki, les gustoj,
Razgovor idiot prostoj.
Ne khodite, detki, v les,
Koli u vas slabyj oj-da! interes!
Iolki-palki, iolki-palki,
Les gustoj.
Elki-palki, iolki-palki,
Budet paren' kholostoj!

Fir Trees and Sticks

A guy went to the forest with a girl,
He had an interest in her, you see.
But he came back from the forest and slept,
Oh, how his interest did drop!
But this girl, you know,
It was quite the opposite for her,
As soon as they entered the curly forest,
Her oh-so! interest flared right up!
Chorus.
Fir trees and sticks, the forest is dense,
The conversation is simple and tense.
Don't go to the forest, my dears,
If your oh-so! interest is weak, I fear!
Fir trees and sticks, fir trees and sticks,
The forest is dense.
Fir trees and sticks, fir trees and sticks,
The guy will stay single, it's intense!
