Белая горячка [Belaya Goriachka] [English translation]

I got all boozed-up yesterday, we drank all night,

and now my head's killing me, I feel trapped.

Someone sprang at me from behind the wall,

something is scaring me silly.

(chorus)

Get out of my sight, devils, you're all I needed!

Hey you, I'll send you back into your wall.

There's so many of them around, all of a sudden.

I've tied a rope on the ceiling.

From their whispers I gathered that someone is out to kill me.

Someone knocked at the door, and I opened the window.

If they break in, they won't get me alive.

I won't surrender into the devils' hands anyway.

(chorus)

(break)

Away with you, delirium1, I've had enough.

I couldn't stand any more of this evil.

The noose was waiting for my neck. I climbed on the stool,

and the devil kicked it from under my feet.

(chorus)

1. lit. "beluga" but it's based on "white" like "delirium tremens"("white fever")
