Rakoshiy Nelch - Smiyomsya nad Saboi (Смеемся Над Собой) Лирицс транслатион то енглисх

Laughing at ourselves

Something's amiss yet again and yet again we're in a bind,
and more bills, and nothing left to pay them.
Stuck in my throat1, a lump of this food
a generous credit allowed to buy.
 
We are loudly told how wonderful our life is
and the only thing we need is a bit more activity,
in this country where prices rise every day
and only wages prove to be remarkably stable.
 
(chorus)
As our scary life
flows away like water2,
we just laugh at ourselves.
By and large we're okay.
 
A young idiot races through the city as if on a highway,
showing off his car's practical top speed.
The kid who happened to cross the street lies
on the operation table. No way you could revive him.
 
Of course the case is bound to go to court.
A medal won't fill the prosecutor's plate though
A plump enveloppe under the right table
and the defendant merrily drives away.
 
(chorus)
As our scary life
flows away like water,
we just laugh at ourselves.
By and large we're okay
 

• 1. the expression is used literally here, but it usually means 'to be helpless/powerless'
• 2. lit. 'our life, scaring us, flows away like water'. I can't seem to find a way to say that in proper English though

This translation does not claim to be of any particular value.
Glad if you liked it, sorry if you didn't.
You can reuse it as you please.
Glad if it's for knowledge or understanding, sorry if it's just for money or fame.
