Лазарь Вайсбейн - Еврейская рапсодия - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

Children, the story begins like this...

Tell me, Grandpa, oh tell me, tell me, how did Tsar Nicholas live?

Well, to be honest, Tsar Nicholas lived very well.

Tell me, Grandpa, how did Tsar Nicholas drink tea?

And he used to drink tea like this. They would take a very big sugar loaf and make a hole in the loaf. They would pour one glass of tea into the hole, and Tsar Nicholas would drink tea from this sugar loaf.

Tell me, Grandpa, oh tell me, how did Tsar Nicholas sleep?

And he used to sleep like this. They would take a very big room and fill it with swan's down, Tsar Nicholas would lie down on top and fall asleep, and around them stood ... [inaudible] and fired a cannon, ... [inaudible] so that it would be quiet, Tsar Nicholas would sleep!

And so he slept through his entire kingdom. [inaudible]

Now, children, I'll tell you what happened next.

Now, children, real life began. So let's dance.
