A Tale of Life

Åâãåíèé Áîáêîâ
A cat, a mouse -
it’s a hunt in the house.
All day, all night -
a continuous fight.

It’s a race for the life.
Who is wrong? Who is right?
And the answer is rough
as the question is tough.

If you want to survive:
Better run, dodge, and dive.
Sneak, zip, and escape.
Do not panic but pray.

It may help in the end.
But, you know, my friend:
This is not "happy end"...
Yeah, now you understand.

Niff Niff, Noof Noof,
Naff Naff and the Wolf -
they all know the truth,
and they do have the proof:               

Whatever you do,
do the best you can do!
Otherwise, you will fail
on the survival trail.               

As to troubles around –
don't let them get you down.
No, no! Not by the hair
of your chinny-chin-chin!

No huffs, no puffs,
No fuss, no muss.
No ashes, no dust,
No peace, no trust.

It’s a race for the life.
Who is wrong? Who is right?
And the answer is rough
as the question is tough.

Moments captured in amber…
But life goes on…
It's again time to gamble
with a new perfect storm…

Don’t sleep! Wake up!
Dream big! Aim high!
Work hard with heart!
Don’t stop! Good luck!

A hunter, a wolf…
This game is so cruel…
Red flags, vicious dogs   
All around the clock.               

Many shots and one hope   
that the bullets go over   
And the smell of the death    
in the East and the West

It’s a race for the life.
Who is wrong? Who is right?
And the answer is rough
as the question is tough.

If you want to survive –
Better run, dodge, and dive,
Sneak, zip, and escape!
Do not panic but pray.
