Жизнь - как вода,

Life is like the water,

Вел я всегда

I've always carried on

Жизнь бесшабашную, -

My life without a care,-

Все ерунда,

Everything is bullshit,

Кроме суда

Except for the court

Самого страшного.

It's full of terror.

Все вам дадут,

You'll receive everything,

Все вам споют -

They'll sing for you everything-

Будьте прилежными, -

Be diligent,-

А за оклад -

And as a benefit-

Ласки дарят

You'll get caresses as a gift

Самые нежные.

Tender, as they can be.

Вел я всегда

I've always carried on

Жизнь без труда -

My life without working hard-
