Счетчик [Schetchik] [English translation]

"She is mine!”: He kept telling us

"You must be kidding, you must be kidding, friend!

Hey kid, be gone, you're so drunk, -

Just watch, you'll get hurt, friend, you'll get hurt in the end!"

And he shouted: " I don't care now!

Get into the cab and let’s go for a ride I say!

Let the meter click, it doesn't matter anyhow

At the end of the road one have to pay".

These guys I do not pity, ever.

" Go away, don't let me sin" again I repeat.

But he towards me, and all about her...

" Don't say a word, my friend, not a word!"

The blood mixed with wine hit me in the head-

And, while continue smiling the same way,

"It doesn't matter" I softly said

At the end of the road one have to pay!"

To tears and requests I don't give a damn-

I feel like to fight, oh, how I feel!

And it doesn't matter if you want or not, my friend, -

Pay the bill, friend, pay the bill!..

Like in a silent movie, life flashes by like the train,-

I want to laugh, I feel okay, -

And the meter, click and click, it's all the same

At the end of the road one have to pay...
