Gogol Bordello Album

As I walked into the bar
A man came up to me and said:
You know the older you will get
The more perverted you will get

Hey, I'd like to see you try it
Oh what you gonna do about it?
Optzay, be a bad priest?
Ili primernij ononist?!
Be bad transvestattn? (da yuta nigh!)
Or be a good zoldatten?! (ozay optzay!)
Yeah, give it a try, (by by by by)
But me I'm jasto bordello kind of guy!.

Mama, of course all hopes are so fragile..
Papa, I can't believe what it costs?.
Sily, sily oni menja pokidajut
So I did what I did and its worth what its worth what it's worth

Ah ha hey!

LyricsWhen the trickster starts a-walking
He sends the whole world asque
Just when you think that it's all through
Its just a birth of something new
And when the trickster starts a-pokin
Who does he need to ask permission
Before he goes in third position
I guess he's justo bordello kind of guy!..

Mama, of course all hopes are so fragile..
Papa, I can't believe what it costs?.
Sily oni menja pokidajut
So I did what I did and its worth what its worth what it's worth

Ah ha hey!

So I walked out out of a bar
And drove like crazy for half mile
I was thirteen beers drunk
On Houston I jumped in some trunk..
We ventured on New York throughway
Where myself I heard I say:
Shall I be classic self crasher?
Or be a good flasher?!

Hey, I'd like to see you try it
Oh what you gonna do about it?
Heeeeeeey, be a bad priest?
Ili primernij ononist?!
Da yuta nigh!
Ozay optzay!
By by by by!
I guess I'm justo bordello kind of guy!

Bordello kind of guy!
Bordello kind of guy!
Bordello kind of guy!

Welcome to the hutzovina border
Come see what we got
Kontrabanda prana-donors ai
Never mind now securitate it's a tihiy chas
Latche romenitza bravinta pjas!
Now over the bridges and over the fence
Over the skyline and over powerplants
Hopping like a monkey on a holy toothpick
Is a rabbit on a pogo-gypsy stick
Give me no pain no great suffer
No bored striptease with dead snake
Give me skin that is dressed lively
Give it to me for kurav sake!

Hey chavorale da gren ame tradasa
Ame pro targo viparuvasa
Ai da na targostir or love las
Lache romenitza bravinta pjas!

She says, "Let's go to Brighton Beach,
And the ??? disco."

Well that would be great fun of ironic kind,
For your self-collapsing ironic mind,
But, hey girl, we've got the cure for you,
Provided of course you will ever make it through!

So let's get radical!
[Ukrainian] radical!
Not ironic, sardonic, catatonic, ceremonic but radical!

Well you know mother,
Some things are actually sacred.
And tough for you ceremonic just won't do!
So hey girl we've got the cure for you,
Proivided of course you will ever make it through,
But, hey boy, we've got the cure for you too,
Provided of course you will ever make it through!

So let's get radical!
[Ukrainian] radical!
Not ironic, sardonic, catatonic, ceremonic but radical!
Let's get radical!
[Ukrainian] radical!
Not ironic, sardonic, catatonic, ceremonic but radical!
Not ironic, sardonic, catatonic, ceremonic but radical!

Brother, our singing, is like an alarm ringing,
We have words at the ready as if something's going wrong,
Daddies of the girls, they don't like us singers,
They don't give a damn about our fancy footwork!
(Our fancy footwork!)
(Our fancy footwork!)

Smarkatch! [Ukrainian]
[Ukrainian]

Of course you can try take a treat through her mother,
Enlighten her nostalgia for a little flame!
But that my friends can also get oh so very fatal,
[inaudible] I remember [inaudible]

And everybody knows!

Smarkatch! [Ukrainian]

Lyrics
So Daddy, dear Mister, I am a family trickster,
And on your place I would be watching twice as much,
But wooah-ho! We'll always be winning,
And just standing feeding pigeons on the Brighton beach boardwalk.

And everybody knows!

Smarkatch! [Ukrainian]

If you don't see no punks in downtown,
D'you know this town is dying quick? (It's just no good!)
I'll get it to you in this now:
You'll have a trouble finding goddamn prostitutes.

In this gutter town,
The girls are stingy, and guys are broke.
In this gutter town,
You will be always dying for a poke.

In this gutter town,
The logical balance is absurd.
And in this gutter town,
The women they never get wet.

And in this gutter town,
Music is only... [inaudible]
And in this gutter town,
Oh!

So that's when I pull over a taxi-co.,
LyricsWith my new friends from Mexica,
And with limited [inaudible],
We started new... punk rock Parranda.
(Ohh punk! Punk!)

If music doesn't come from windows,
You know that something's definitely wrong, (It's fucking wrong!)
And all the cars, they pass in silence,
[Ukrainian]

And if there is no guitar in a house,
You know its owner, he cannot be trusted.
And if there is no drumset in the office,
Don't be surprised when the business get busted.

And if your spouse doesn't play a sitar,
Don't expect a whole lot of commitment.
And if President doesn't play the sax,
He will not get an under-table treatment.

And in this gutter town,
Say you kick somebody in the head -
They just, they likely sue you,
But man, they don't get mad!

So that's when I pull over a taxi-co.,
With my new friends from Mexica,
And with limited [inaudible],
We started new... samba!

[Ukrainian]

And in this gutter town,
The logical balance is absurd.
And in this gutter town,
The women they never get wet.

When there is trap set up for you,
In every corner of this town,
And so you learn the only way to go is underground.
When there is a trap set up for you,
In every corner of your room,
And so you learn the only way to go is through the roof.

Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground.
Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground.

And we crossing border after border,
We realise the difference is none.
It's underdogs who, and if you want it,
You always have to make your own fun.

And as the upperdog leisurely sighing,
The local cultures are dying and dying.
The programmed robots are buying and buying,
And (inaudible) they are still trying trying.

Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground.
LyricsOoohooooh, through the roof, underground.

And as the boy scouts learn to read between the lines,
The silver rabbits hop between their fathers' lies.
And boy scouts ask, "Where? Where do they go?"
They go to the country that they only know.

Just like their meanings they live between the lines,
Between the borders their real countryside,
Their strategies, they advertise,
Their strategy of being is in-your-face disguise.

Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground.
Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground.

And when their own walls they will a-crumble,
And all the systems will be discumbumbled,
Around the stump of bigotry, our own [Ukrainian].

Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground.
Ooohooooh, through the roof, and underground.
Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground.
Ooohooooh, through the roof, underground!

[Ukrainian]

Through the roof! And underground!
Through the roof! Underground!

Ai so keres mah baro foro
Tum baro foro yo roma
Pash sveto me parno projava
Ilo miro duchala chaja
Ai pasho mange dah romaino
Muro ilo duchala mah
For they can never never measure
Kuravlem so tekerav!
So call your best friend let's take him with us
Onto new space onto new time
Our silver plane now will be leaving
Only one day only one time
Kuravlem so tekerav!

The situation is no-win,
Anyhow, I'm gonna win,
[Ukrainian].
I am shot right through the woods,
Not through under-table goods,
But through these very golden gates man.
Never listen what they say,
Never had a back-up plan,
[Ukrainian], Huliganjetta!

situation is no-win,
But somehow, I'm gonna win,
Oooh! Huliganjetta!

[Ukrainian]
Huliganjetta!
[Ukrainian]
Huliganjetta!
[Ukrainian]

Listen! What speaks to you?
LyricsListen! You know it's true!
Listen! When I was little kid,
Listen! Of course I did.

Situation is no-win,
How the hell am going to win?!
[Ukrainian] Huliganjetta!
Now I see you come you've aged,
Public wisdom is the rage,
[Ukrainian].
Never had a back-up plan,
Had I only magic spell,
[inaudible].

Huliganjetta!

We wish somebody would just tell us how it is,
And when somebody dies, oh we just get pissed.
We wish somebody would just tell us how it is,
And when somebody dies, oh we just get pissed.
[inaudible
While the question is developing bigger than it is.

Huliganjetta!

[inaudible]
And I will be on my way,
[Ukrainian]
And once I am overboard,
I will send you pretty postcard,
With three heartfelt kisses.
Don't let 'em school you!
Please don't let 'em change you!
And never, never listen to what they say!

Huliganjetta!

Listen! What speaks to you?
Listen! You know it's true!
Listen! When I was little kid,
Listen! Of course I did.

Listen! (Listen!) What speaks to you?
Listen! (Listen!) You know it's true!
Listen! (Listen!) When you were little kid,
Listen! (Listen!) Of course you did.

Huliganjetta!
