Two fellas're coming home
At night on the road
Suddenly gang from the forest
Have surrounded them along
One guy bursted into tears, fell to his knees:
"Do not kill me please,
I'll do everything you wish "
And the ataman* said, putting his hands in the pocket:
"Here is a knife, you take it,
If you want to live -
Kill your friend! "
Terrible cry then came out,
When a knife had stabbed a chest
Ataman right after this
Said very quietly: "Well,
Take this bastard!
Tie him well
And throw in the pit with the corpse!"
Despite an order was strange,
Right away
Killer and a dead man
Were seated there face-to-face
Two fellas're coming home
At night on the road
Suddenly gang from the forest
Have surrounded them along
*ataman - gang leader
