Текст и перевод песни Любэ - Stariy barin

Stariy barin

Staryj barin vsio leto khvoral,
A pod utro velel dolgo zhit'.
Staryj barin zazria ne oral,
On staralsia narod ublazhit'.
Koli Paskha, tak v dome kulich.
I podarok dadut dorogoj.
Govorili o niom: "Nash Kuzmich,"
A teperecha barin drugoj.
Pripev:
Oj ogurchiki solionye,
Kak zhizn' poshla khrenovo!
Nalej-ka milen'kij,
Nakatim po vtoroj!
Pomianem barina,
Da spliashem barinu,
Vyp'em, zakusim,
Da za zhizn' pogovorim
Vyjdet barin byvalo v polia,
Podgliadit on kak devki poiut,
Podojdiot k muzhikam, a poslia
Siadut riadyshkom vmeste i p'iut.
Znamo delo - byl barin khorosh:
I rumian i prigozh sam-soboj.
I zernom nalivalasia rozh'.
A u novogo-to rozha - vo!
Pripev (3 raza)

The Old Master

The old master was ill all summer long,
And by morning he ordered to live no more.
The old master never yelled at dawn,
He tried to please the people, for sure.
At Easter time, there's always a cake in the house.
And an expensive gift he would share.
They called him: "Our Kuzmich," with a rouse,
But now we have a different master there.
Chorus:
Oh, the salty cucumbers,
How life has become so bad!
Pour me some, my dear,
Let's have another shot, lad!
Let's remember the master,
And dance for the master,
Let's drink and have a bite,
And talk about life a bit.
The master would go out to the fields,
To peek at the girls as they sing their songs,
He'd approach the men, and then he'd yield,
Sitting side by side, they'd drink all night long.
We know the deal - the master was good:
Both rosy-cheeked and handsome, understood.
And the rye was full of grain, as it should.
But the new one's face - oh, it's no good!
