There was a chap named Drinky Crow Who loved his wine & beer But job & wife & kids & such Had lost all their veneer He found the highest bridge in town To test his belly flop When a giant whale came bumbling by And swallowed Drinky up! When Crow came to, he found himself In stomach vast and plush With Schnitzel, sheilas and champagne, A haven for the lush A wizened monkey with a crown Poured Drinky Crow a toke It grinned, and winked a bloodshot eye, And this is what it spoke: Oh, [Life is a bucket and it's filled with joy Life is a bucket and it's filled with joy Life is a bucket and it's filled with joy So drink that sucker down] 2x Crow hearkened to that gabby monk And took his words to heart When giant whale resurface-ed He made a brand new start So if like Drinky Crow you feel Your days are lacking flair Don't give up hope! A giant whale A-waits for you somewhere [Life is a bucket and it's filled with joy Life is a bucket and it's filled with joy Life is a bucket and it's filled with joy So drink that sucker down] 2x

Dodji Mile u naš kraj pa da vidiš šta je raj. Hej, haj, u naš kraj pa da vidiš šta je raj. Prodje, Mile, propeva i volove protera. Hej, haj, propeva i volove protera. Come, Mile' to our village to see what paradise is like. Hey, hi to our village to see what paradise is like. Mile' passes through and starts singing as he drives his cattle. Hey, hi starts singing as he drives his cattle.

Ogorki, ogorki, ogorki make me giddy Ogorki, ogorki, ogorki make me gay I’ll take your ogorki if you’re not eating yourski Ogorki are perfectly balanced that way My Babcia was a pickle, my Dziadzia was a kraut And though they were quite different They always worked it out When Babcia was expecting Ogorki filled the bill And 9 months later out came Dad A baby kosher dill Ogorki, ogorki, ogorki make me giddy Ogorki, ogorki, ogorki make me gay (so gay) I’ll take your ogorki if you’re not eating yourski Ogorki are perfectly balanced that way I asked my friend the physicist, what’s with this universe Does baryon asymmetry Just keep on getting worse They said that’s all just theory But this we know for sure For every pickle hater there’s an ogorki lover Ogorki, ogorki, ogorki make me giddy Ogorki, ogorki, ogorki make me gay (so gay) I’ll take your ogorki if you’re not eating yourski Ogorki are perfectly balanced that way Ogorki are perfectly balanced that way

жить мы весела пойдём, радость, счастья найдём. По тайге, да по густой, Шел охотник молодой. Встретил зверя — не убил. Встретил девку — полюбил. дует Ветер на Хинган, Губы тянутся к губам. не даром собрались, Если любишь так женись. Let's live a happy life, We will find joy and happiness. Through the taiga, and through the thick, A young hunter was walking. I met an animal - I didn’t kill it. I met a girl and fell in love. The wind blows on Khingan, Lips touch lips. It was not for nothing that we gathered, If you love me like that, marry me.

The steppes have been mowed already Everything has been gathered up. Dearest, come to me, I’ll be waiting for your arrival. The watermelons are ready, Overflowing with juices, Full of sweetness, gushing As my heart is full of love. And the cherries, dearest mine, Are black like your eyes. The trees are loaded And the branches are bending over. Come to me, dearest mine, And enough for us of dreaming. My love is ripe and ready Just as my plums are.

May all beings know love, in our time. May all beings know happiness, in our time. May all beings know freedom, in our time. May all beings know peace, right now.
