Текст и перевод песни Владимир Высоцкий - Сивка-Бурка

Сивка-Бурка

Кучера из МУРа укатали Сивку
Закатали Сивку в Нарьян-Мар
Значит, не погладили по загривку
Значит, дали полностью "гонорар"

На дворе вечерит
Ну, а Сивка чифирит

Ночи по полгода за полярным кругом
И, конечно, Сивка заскучал
Обзавелся Сивка Буркой - закадычным другом
С ним он ночи длинные коротал

На дворе вечерит
Сивка с Буркой чифирит

Сивка - на работу, - до седьмого поту
За обоих вкалывал - конь конём
И тогда у Бурки появился кто-то
Занял место Сивкино за столом

На дворе вечерит
Бурка с кем-то чифирит

Лошади, известно, - тоже человеки
Сивка долго думал и решал
И однажды Бурка с кем-то вдруг исчез навеки
Ну, а Сивка в каторгу захромал

На дворе вечерит
Сивка в каторге горит

Sivka-Burka

The cops from MUR drove Sivka away,
Drove him all the way to Naryan-Mar.
Seems they didn't pat his mane with care,
Seems they gave him the full "fee", by far.

Evening falls upon the yard,
And Sivka's brewing tea, quite hard.

Nights half a year long, beyond the Arctic Circle,
And of course, Sivka began to yearn.
He found a friend in Burka, a loyal circle,
With him, the long nights they did turn.

Evening falls upon the yard,
Sivka and Burka brew tea, quite hard.

Sivka worked hard, sweat and toil,
For both of them he did moil.
And then, someone new came to Burka's side,
Took Sivka's place at the table, wide.

Evening falls upon the yard,
Burka with someone brews tea, quite hard.

Horses, as we know, are people too,
Sivka thought long, what he should do.
And one day, Burka with someone just disappeared,
While Sivka limped to hard labor, it appeared.

Evening falls upon the yard,
Sivka burns in hard labor, scarred.
