Students’ ridicule song, 16 с.

lyrics

Два крукі

На галінцы два крукі
Каркалі паціху,
Што жывецца добра ім
Без турбот і ліха

Пад галінкай рыцар спаў
З галавой прабітай,
Герб ягоны зарастаў
Траўкай сакавітай.

Запытаўся першы крук:
«Гонар — што такое?»
А другі: «Глядзі, вось тут
Цела нежывое».
Запытаўся першы крук:
«Сквапнасць — што такое?»
А другі: «Глядзі, вось тут
Золата і зброя».

Запытаўся першы крук:
«Голад — што такое?»
А другі: «Яго ж няма!
Бо рыцараў даволі».

Прагнуць людзі ўсе вякі
Золата да столі
Галадаць жа мы, крукі,
Не будзем ніколі.


Two Ravens

On the tree there were two ravens
Croaking just a little
About their happy life
With no mess or evil.

The knight is sleeping under the tree.
His head is crushed badly.
His coat of arms is covered with
Growing grass, so sadly.

And the first raven asked,
“What is pride, my dear?”
And the other said, “Look down
At this lifeless body.”
And first raven asked again,
“What is greed, my dear?”
And the other said, “Look down.
There’s lots of gold and weapons.”

And the first raven asked,
“Do you know what hunger means?”
And the other said, “There is no hunger,
As many knights are there.”

Humans always long for wealth,
Gold, and gems, and treasure;
Thus, we’re never gonna have,
Hunger, at our pleasure.
