Зато я спас кота [Zato ya spas kota] [English translation]

A cat climbed a tree

But couldn't get back down.

Although I broke the glass,

I helped the cat.

A cat climbed a tree,

This happens to cats.

Although I made the tree fall,

I'll tell you that on the other hand,

I saved the cat, I fulfilled the order,

And anyone would have done the same thing in my place.

I saved the kitty, I fulfilled the order,

Because fulfilling the order is a matter of top priority.

This happens sometimes –

You climb up and can't get down,

And you sit and wait for

Someone to help you.

This happens sometimes

To people and to cats.

Although I made a mess,

I'll tell you that on the other hand,

I saved the cat, I fulfilled the order,

And anyone would have done the same thing in my place.

I saved the kitty, I fulfilled the order,

Because fulfilling the order is a matter of top priority.
