Теорема Шара [Teorema shara] [English translation]

It is hot in Baghdad today,

And today I’d like to prove Shara's Theorem. 1

However, nowadays, the world is turned brazen.

It was stung in the heart by stupidity

It forgot its mother,

It forgot its father.

He wants to get off of

The Chelyabinsk fairway. 2

While he lives in a transformer box,

And from his head, forget-me-nots grew. 3

It is trying to take out the sting

While grey hair comes in before falling out. 4

How do we last until spring,

When all around us hurl axes at us? 5

I no longer can tell

the alphabet's letters

I'm ill like Confucius

Dancing a ridiculous Siritaki 6

So he shouted

Something like “SOS”.

At the same time, firefighters

Started turning on pumps.

You can no longer hear

Even a single word.

From now on I’ll walk like a cow

In pointed shoes, up to my neck in snow.

On a Scottish highland meadow

There are no more words for all of these sounds.

May the Lord have mercy on all our minds,

Playing a tarabuka! 7
