Gogol Bordello: Huliganjetta

if situation is no win
anyhow i'm gonna win
kogda vzoydet zvezda - huliganjetta (when the star rises)

not through shortcuts through the woods
not through undertable goods
but through its very golden basement

never listen what they say
never had i backup plan
vzoidet zvezda, huliganjetta (the star will rise)

situation is no win
but somehow i'm gonna win,
oh, huliganjetta

a spusta kak dve nedel, (two weeks later)
ya polez kak po parte (i climbed into a school desk?)
ops -- derevantzo -- huliganjetta! (no idea what this line is)
zaper terror from a board (this one too, sorry)
and our relatives from abroad
mama papa dyadya tetya, vzyali! (mama, papa, uncle, auntie, let's go!)

listen, what speaks to you?
listen, you know it's true.
listen, when i was little kid.
listen, of course i did

situation is no win
how the hell i'm gonna win?
nam vzoshla zvezda, huliganjetta.

now i see you how you aged
but public wisdom is deranged
o yeah its to never let them change you

never had a backup plan,
only had a magic spell
to myself i quietly repeated,
or sometime when late at night,
i suddenly wake up, and i fucking scream it:

huliganjetta!

we wish somebody would just tell us how it is,
and when somebody does, oh, we just get pissed.

we wish somebody would just tell us how it is,
and when somebody does, oh, we just get pissed.
we'd rather watch the truth
than perform a masterpiece
when the question is if anything is real, and it is

huliganjetta!

if you welcome every day
and i will be on my way
zahvachu tvoi lish dva bileta (taking with me just your two tickets)
and once i am over border
i will send you pretty postcard
with three heart-felt cliches

don't let them school you
please don't let them change you
and never never listen what they say

listen, what speaks to you?
listen, you know it's true.
listen, when i was little kid.
listen, of course i did

listen, what speaks to you?
listen, you know it's true.
listen, when you were little kids
listen, of course you did

huliganjetta!
