Вася [Vasya] [English translation]

All lights are beaming at full blast

The city scene is moving fast

It’s very likely to meet this man,

The blues and jazz enthusiast

His clothes fit well, all neat and pressed,

The latest fashion shoes are shone

He ambles the streets on Friday nights

In a company or alone

And if you ask any stranger down in Simi Valley:

"Who plays the hottest tunes on saxophone?" -

"The jazz and blues all night and he’s never tired?"

To that everyone answers, right away answers:

"Of course, that’s Michael!", "Michael , Michael -

Who doesn’t recognize him? Yeh-yeh!

Michael, Michael, it's Michael - 'The – First Chair Saxophone!' "

And if you go to Wilshire Ebel Theatre

The Disney Hall or the Hollywood Bowl

Most likely you

Will run into him

Picking up tickets at will call

Tonight the Dodgers play with SF Giants

The Oracle Park is overflown

Oh! Who’s that sitting next to a pretty lady,

Cheering loud in a baritone?

And if you ask any stranger down in Simi Valley:

"Who plays the hottest tunes on saxophone?", ...

"The jazz and blues all night and he’s never tired?" -

And to that everyone answers, right away answers:

Of course, that’s Michael, Michael, Michael -

Who doesn’t recognize him? Yeh-yeh!

Michael, Michael, it's Michael - 'The – First Chair Saxophone!'
