How many rumours are hurting our ears!
How many gossips eating up, like a mole!
There are rumours,
as though absolutely everything will be dear, -
And especially - table salt.

Here and there
the rumours moving
among the houses
like flies,
And toothless old woman
spreading them into our lives.

"Oh, what’s going on! Yesterday they were digging a trench -
They dug out two cognac streams!"
They say, the spies poisoned the water with moonshine,
Well, and bread now from fish scales it seams".

Here and there
the rumours moving
among the houses
like flies,
And toothless old woman
spreading them into our lives.

"Listen, did you hear? They building city underground,
They say just in case of a nuclear war".
"Have you heard? Soon all the bathhouses will be shut down
And this information is true: shut forevermore".

Here and there
the rumours moving
among the houses
like flies,
And toothless old woman
spreading them into our lives.

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 

"And do you know? Mamykin being sucked -
For his drunkenness, for a debauch, for lechery".
By the way, they will arrest your neighbour, what a bastard, -
Because he looks like Beria, you’ll see".

Here and there
the rumours moving
among the houses
like flies,
And toothless old woman
spreading them into our lives.

Hardened in many debacles,
Rumours are expanding, not knowing the barriers:
The gossips are about, that there will be no more rumours absolutely,
There are rumours, that gossip will be forbidden!

Here and there
the rumours moving
among the houses
like flies,
And toothless old woman
spreading them into our lives.

And they sing to each other, whether in whisper or in scream, -
A bad roumor always coming out from the lips of hysterical woman!
And to good rumours people are not used to them,
They say, that it is fiction and nonsense, man!.

Here and there
the rumours moving
among the houses
like flies,
And toothless old woman
spreading them into our lives.
