Gogol Bordello - Not A Crime текст песни

-Я письмо достал, Николай Иваныч
-И опять запрещенное?
-Совершенно запрещенное! Белинского к Гоголю.Ах, Николай Иваныч, какое письмо!

Drop the charges!

[Russian]:Эх да запрещенное давай!

The fire and the power, yuh?!

[Ukrainian]

(In the old time it was not a crime, drop the charges,
Don't you realise the sun rises?)

(Drop the charges, man! Drop the charges!)

(Right you are! And this time, let the people know...)

In the old time, in the old time,
In the old time it was not a crime!
(What are you talking about?)
In the old time, in the old time,
In the old time it was not a crime!

Not a crime!
(It's all nonsensical!)
Not a crime!

In the old time, in the old time,
In the old time it was not a crime!
In the old time, in the old time,
In the old time it was not a crime!

(*coughs*)
Not a crime!
Drop the charges!
Not a crime!
Not a crime!
Not a crime!

Ох, да запрещенное давай!
Reality!

Spices, creation, realisation, naturalisation,
What are you talking about? It's all about time 'cos today you go to nature.

Not a crime!
In the old time, in the old time,
In the old time it was not a crime!
In the old time, in the old time,
In the old time it was not a crime!

(Not a crime, not a crime!)
Not a crime!
Запрещенное давай!
Not a crime!
Not a crime!
Drop the charges, man!
Not a crime!
Drop the charges!

Сидел нога болтал, работать не хотел. Not a crime!
Сидел нога болтал, работать не хотел. Not a crime!

(It's not a crime, it's legal - perfectly natural).
