Мне ребята сказали [Mne rebyata skazali] [English translation]

The guys gave me such a tip!

On the outskirts, where there are no street lamps,

If everything works out- I'll be set for life and quit,-

I will provide for myself and my best friends.

But at twelve o'clock people want to sleep, right?

Tomorrow they have get up for work,-

I can not disturb them- I'm not going to steal tonight,-

I'm reluctant to disrupt the sleep of folks!

The boys told me, that there lives an actress,

That she has diamonds, gold and some money,-

And that all will be quiet, without any risk,-

Well, and after, of course, we will be running.

But at twelve o'clock people want to sleep, right?

And the actress has to go to work and get up,-

I can not disturb her- I'm not going to steal tonight,

And her sleep I'm reluctant to disrupt!

My friend Michael told me he has found, that she has a saving account,-

It couldn't be, it couldn't-our actress hasn't got a cent!

" But I did discover,she has a lieutenant colonel, he is her- her-her lover!"

Michael, what a sod, he convinced me with that argument.

But at twelve o'clock people want to sleep-

Tomorrow they have get up for work...

So what, they won't sleep!- I'm coming,though not happy , not a bit:

I'm reluctant to disrupt the sleep of folks!

...I've told the guys, that she is not rich at all:

Diamonds are fakes, the lieutenant colonel gave her a slip.

Well, and this actress, she is about 300 years old,-

i will never forgive myself, that interrupted her sleep!

But at twelve o'clock people want to sleep, right?

Tomorrow they have get up for work,-

I can not disturb them- I'm not going to steal tonight,-

I'm reluctant to disrupt the sleep of folks!
