From meeting you I knew I would receive
Too many troubles, problems and vexation,
But I at once with you began to live,
Ignoring this unkind anticipation.

Then from your life I scraped away the scale,
And then I pulled you from your ditch upstairs,
I also cut off a winding tail -
So long a tail of your short-lived affairs.

I had to beat your clients quite a bit,
I can’t recall all street fights that I was in;
Among these guys, I now must admit,
There were some lads who really were worthy.

Whatever wished, from me you would obtain,
Each day with you I turned into a wedding;
Because of you I jumped under the train,
But, luckily, I missed the railway bedding.

You’d wait for me - I thought behind the bars,
But you betrayed me in a filthy manner;
And from the skies for you I’d steal the stars
And also some stars straight from the banner!

You cheat on me - but I still want to talk!
Don’t drink, don’t lie - I swear, I’ll forgive you!
You’ll get from me a present - Little Rock
And also Big Apple I will give you!

We are to meet again - I’m in dismay!
I fear your wild sexual ambition,
As in Japan folks fear till today
Hiroshima’s atomic repetition!
