Repentance of a Priest at Dawn

REPENTANCE OF A PRIEST AT DAWN                Samuel Krig
(Equirhythmic English Version)



[Verse 1]

The crazy orgies' high beneath a villainous moon,
The female orgasms, life, where every hero's in tune,
The bottles of vodka here, the bottles of gin over there,
And people, people, people, driving you insane, ma'am, I swear…
I still remember some things, but much has faded from mind,
At times I’m sick of Coca-Cola, like from eating dog food, blind,
Let’s go and swap our haircuts, or jump on potties instead
Across this life of crazy people like a chessboard we tread.
Vadim has chopped his long hair, doc Nurg’s off to Bundes land,
I turned my back on the dancer, told them "Saint-Pete’s where you stand".
Again around us Moscow – New York of a sickly dream,
And honestly, I do not care what you will tell them it would seem…

[Chorus]
The crazy orgies' high beneath a villainous moon,
The female temptations, paradise behind convent walls soon,
The bottles of whiskey here, the bottles of brandy right there,
And money, money, money, driving you insane, ma'am, I swear…

[Verse 2]

She’ll send you from Tibetan peaks a package of snow,
A ticket to depart, yeah, but only in dreams though…
Cold Turkey back again, but you still sing about love,
What can she do, John, Paul, George, Ringo are with you from above…
Tell me why, Rita? Rita, why do you cry?
When there is Shaya Marx, and in your head it's Shanghai,
Palais-Royal, currency, cocaine, LSD,
Wipe out, sexy doll, enjoy yourself! Oh, yeah!
[Chorus / Outro]
The crazy orgies' high beneath a villainous moon,
The crazy orgies' high behind convent walls soon,
Tonight, just like yesterday, all night we’re gonna rave on,
Let’s play "Repentance of a Priest at Dawn"!
All day since morning Larissa is the queen of the seas,
All night alone Larissa is the lady of new doors with keys,
Oh! Yeah, Larissa-kitty,
Repentance of a priest at dawn!

[Bridge]

There, where a black blanket is right on the soul,
Two buddies played a word-game, trying to feel whole,
The coins are in the piggy bank for a rainy day,
I want you, Larissa, on Christmas Day, hey!
Wow! Larissa-kitty, yeah, repentance of a priest at dawn!
Wow! Larissa-kitty, yeah, repentance of a priest at dawn!
