Scows Full Of Mullet
Scows full of mullet,
Kostya brought to Odessa,
And all the drayman stood up,
When he entered the pub.
The deep blue sea beyond the boulevard,
The chestnuts in bloom over the city,
And Konstantin takes the guitar,
And sings in a low voice:
CHORUS:
- I will not speak to you for all Odessa,
All Odessa is very large,
But Moldavanka and Peresip
Adore Kostya, the sailor.
The fisherwoman Sonya once in May,
Sending a longboat ashore,
He said:" All you know,
And I see it for the first time!.."
In response, opening a pack of Kazbecks,
Kostya said to her coldly:
"You are an interesting oddity,
But the thing, you see, (is) in fact:
CHORUS:
- I will not speak to you for all Odessa
All Odessa is very large
But Moldavanka, and Peresip
Adore Kostya, the sailor.
The bird-cherry covered fountain
The French Boulevard was in bloom.
"Our Kostya, it seems fell in love," -
Shouted the loaders at the port.
About this news (of) this week
Noisy fishermen were everywhere
At the wedding the loaders wore
Terrible creaking hand-made clogs.
- I will not speak to you for all Odessa
All Odessa is very large.
Day and night partying (in) all of Peresip
For the happy wedding of a sailor.
