Need a Husband (Хочу Мужа)

Alyonushka would bathe her goat down in the river

The creek tickled her feet and made her body shiver

And also something else, which should not have been tickled

And also something else, where tickling’s not allowed

REFRAIN:

Need a husband, need a husband, need a husband, please!

He can be a duke, an earl, a baron or a king

Without husband, evil blizzard, and my blood will freeze

Need a husband, need a husband, need a husband, please

An intellectual once fell for lady Nina

He broke her gramophone and her sewing machine, now

And also something else that should not have been broken

And also something else, that’s broken long ago

REFRAIN

An intellectual stretched out across the road

And started drying off his crooked legs and toes

And also something else, that should not have been dried out

And also something else, that dried out long ago

REFRAIN
