An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic... don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well, isn't this nice."
And isn't it ironic ... don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everthing blows up
In your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic.. and yeah I really do think...
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
Старику исполнилось 98 лет,
Он выиграл в лотерее и умер на следующий день.
Это как черная муха в твоем Шардонне, [сорт белого вина]
Это как помилование смертников, казненных две минуты назад.
И разве это не ирония судьбы… Как ты думаешь?
Это как дождь в день твоей свадьбы,
Это как бесплатная поездка, за которую ты уже заплатил,
Это как хороший совет, которого ты просто не послушал,
Кто бы мог подумать… Но это логично.
Мистер «Веди-Себя-Осторожно» боялся летать,
Он собрал свой чемодан и поцеловал детей на прощание,
Он всю свою чертову жизнь ждал этого полета,
И когда самолет начал падать, он подумал:
«Ну разве это не мило…»
И разве это не ирония судьбы… Как ты думаешь?
Это как дождь в день твоей свадьбы,
Это как бесплатная поездка, за которую ты уже заплатил,
Это как хороший совет, которого ты просто не послушал,
Кто бы мог подумать… Но это логично.
Что ж, жизнь выбрала забавный способ подкрасться к тебе,
Когда ты думал, что все в порядке и все идет как надо,
И жизнь выбрала забавный способ спасти тебя,
Когда ты думал, что все не так и все неудачно,
За что бы ты ни взялся.
Возникшая «пробка», когда ты уже опоздал,
Надпись «Не курить» на стене во время твоего перекура,
Это как десять тысяч ложек, когда тебе нужен нож,
Это как встреча с мужчиной моей мечты,
А затем с его чудесной женой.
И разве это не ирония судьбы… Как ты думаешь?
Чересчур иронично… О да, я действительно так считаю…
Это как дождь в день твоей свадьбы,
Это как бесплатная поездка, за которую ты уже заплатил,
Это как хороший совет, которого ты просто не послушал,
Кто бы мог подумать… Но это логично.
Жизнь выбрала забавный способ подкрасться к тебе,
Жизнь выбрала забавный способ спасти тебя,
Спасти тебя...

The old man is 98 years old,
He won the lottery and died the next day.
It's like a black fly in your Chardonnay, [white wine variety]
It's like a pardon for suicide bombers executed two minutes ago.
And isn't that an irony of fate ... What do you think?
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's like the free ride you already paid for
It’s like good advice that you simply didn’t listen to,
Who would have thought ... But this is logical.
Mr. Lead-Beware was afraid to fly,
He packed his suitcase and kissed the children goodbye,
He had been waiting for this flight all his damn life,
And when the plane began to fall, he thought:
“Well, isn't that sweet ...”
And isn't that an irony of fate ... What do you think?
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's like the free ride you already paid for
It’s like good advice that you simply didn’t listen to,
Who would have thought ... But this is logical.
Well life has chosen a fun way to sneak up on you
When you thought that everything was in order and everything was going as it should,
And life chose a fun way to save you
When you thought that everything was wrong and everything was unsuccessful,
Whatever you take.
The “traffic jam” that occurred when you were already late
The inscription "Do not smoke" on the wall during your break,
It's like ten thousand spoons when you need a knife
It's like meeting a man of my dreams
And then with his wonderful wife.
And isn't that an irony of fate ... What do you think?
Too ironic ... Oh yes, I really think so ...
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's like the free ride you already paid for
It’s like good advice that you simply didn’t listen to,
Who would have thought ... But this is logical.
Life has chosen a fun way to sneak up on you
Life has chosen a fun way to save you
Save you ...
