три корочки хлеба

три карты (3 раза) (с).
слова Н. М. Олева (Розенфельда), музыка М. И. Дунаевского.

just like a coin, abraded, flat and even trivial,
the planet used to center on the three cetes,
and smarties were burned through all the ages
for stating "th' matter is not in the whales".

 refrain:
there are three whales,
just these three whales,
just those three whales, -
and nothing damned else.
the earth flies like a cockleshell in the universe,
and we - the hunters and the fishers - pray,
please, swallow the bait and come on to the stake,
oh, wonderful and golden fish, the whale.

these whales are th' fundamental gridly backbones,
remember their names for hale and for th' haler cause,
the one is chance, the politics - the other,
the last one's name would sure be the love.

refrain:
there are three whales,
just these three whales,
just those three whales, -
the rest is just the waste.
the earth flies like a cockleshell in the universe,
and we - the hunters and the fishers - pray,
please, swallow the bait and come on to the stake,
oh, wonderful and golden fish, the whale.

so as a flighty Fortune points and outlines,
we try to catch them by all means of our lifes,
they bait us from the noses to tails,
three passions, three temptations, faеry whales.

refrain:
there are three whales,
just these three whales,
just those three whales, -
the vanity of vain.
the earth flies like a cockleshell in the universe,
and we - the hunters and the fishers - pray,
please, swallow the bait and come on to the stake,
oh, wonderful and golden fish, the whale.
please, swallow the bait and come on to the stake,
oh, wonderful and golden fish, the whale.
