Russian
Мы спросили у Петрова
English translation
We Have Asked Old John McGwire
Мы спросили у Петрова:
We have asked old John McGwire:
Почему на шее провод?
Why's your neck stuck in a wire?
А Петров не отвечает,
But good Johnny's saying nothing,
Только ботами качает.
Just his boots are swaying, scuffing.
