Kali Nichta [English translation]

Alex has much, but it's not enough for him

He's a millionaire and wants still more

He almost always leaves Elena alone at home

He never has time for tenderness

Moneymaking is all he cares about

When he comes home in the evening

He's as tired as a warrior after the battle

Slumps into bed and only says:

Kali Nichta1, Kali Nichta, good night

She is young and beautiful

He doesn't seem to see it

Dear friend, be aware

He who has treasure like you

Doesn't just say Kali Nichta, Kali Nichta, good night

But Elena knows how to look after herself

Don't think that she just sits and cries

You must know the handsome Dimitri next door

He's no wisecracker, but people say

He has exactly what she wants

So, when her husband comes home now

She looks tired and leans against the wardrobe

He doesn't notice anything, falls into bed

And still only says Kali Nichta

At which she thinks: thank God

She is young and beautiful

He doesn't seem to see it

And if he does make a move,

She just turns things round

And just says: Kali Nichta, Kali – no don't –, good night

La la laei ...

She is young and beautiful

You must understand her

And if you have such a treasure at home

There's always the danger, as you can see

So when it's late don't always just say:

Kali Nichta, Kali Nichta, when it's on
