Buddies gave me a target In the outskirts where
No lights ever burn - just at dawn darkness ends.
Breaking into that house, I will get stuff to share,
I will get lots of dough for myself and my friends.

But at night people sleep and I hate to disturb
Folks who set off to work in the morning,
I am all for my mob,
but to go and rob
Napping people I have
no yearning!

Buddies said that an actress living there alone,
That her home’s not protected, very easy to break;
That she has tons of money, gold and precious stones -
Later on all these riches at the races we’ll stake.

But at night people sleep and I hate to disturb
Folks who set off to work in the morning,
I am all for my mob,
but to go and rob
Napping people I have
no yearning!

Buddy Mishka was saying
That she’s got lots of savings.
That is strange: our actors, as a rule, are not rich.
"But her lover’s a colonel, -
Mishka said, - that’s the kernel!"
He was so convincing, he persuaded me, bitch!

But at night people sleep and I hate to disturb
Folks who set off to work in the morning.
Good, I’ll get on the job
and I’m going to rob
Though I hate any heist
when it’s dawning!

My fiasco’s been pure -
she is seedy and poor!
All her stones are bogus and the colonel is gone!
And this lady appears
To be stricken in years.
And forever I’m shamed that I disturbed her at dawn!

But at night people sleep and I hate to disturb
Folks who set off to work in the morning,
I am all for my mob,
but to go and rob
Napping people I have
no yearning!
