От тихой гавани вдали
По морю плыли корабли,
Их ветер нес из дальних стран
Через великий океан.
Там был купец – он вез добро.
Там был мудрец – он вез вино.
Там песню вез один чудак,
И ехал просто так, дурак.
Купец считал свое добро.
Мудрец мечтал и пил вино.
И песню пел один чудак,
И ехал просто так, дурак.
Иссякнут деньги у купца.
Кувшин вина допьет мудрец.
Настанет песенки конец -
И только дури нет конца.
From a quiet harbor in the distance
On the sea sailed ships,
Their wind carried from distant lands
Through the great ocean.
There was a merchant - he drove good.
There was a sage - he drove wine.
There the song was taken by one eccentric,
And I went just like that, fool.
The merchant considered his good.
The sage dreamed and drank wine.
And the song was sung by one eccentric,
And I went just like that, fool.
The merchant will run out of money.
A pitcher of wine will finish the sage.
The song will end -
And only dope there is no end.
