Стаканы [Stakany] [English translation]

Come on, throw the glasses on the table

Come on, throw the glasses on the table

Come on, throw the glasses on the table

And the other dishes

Everyone says, you can't drink

Everyone says, you can't drink

Everyone says, you can't drink

And I say, I will

Early in the morning, while it's dark

While it's dark, while it's dark

Early in the morning, while it's dark

And the world is still in bed

To understand where to go

To understand why to go

Take a hundred grams1 without hesitating

And you'll reach your destination

Come on, throw the glasses on the table

Come on, throw the glasses on the table

Come on, throw the glasses on the table

And the other dishes

Everyone says, you can't drink

Everyone says, you can't drink

Everyone says, you can't drink

And I say, I will

I didn't want to pull a barge2

That's why I go wandering

If I reach the end of the earth

I'll wander over the ocean

If the apparatus breaks down

I'll become a pirate, and I'll be glad

I'll drink away a battleship without hesitating

But I won't disgrace the fleet

Come on, throw the glasses on the table

Come on, throw the glasses on the table

Come on, throw the glasses on the table

And the other dishes

Everyone says, you can't drink

Everyone says, you can't drink

Everyone says, you can't drink

And I say, I will
