Zdravstvuyte, devochki,
Zdravstvuyte, mal'chiki,
Smotrite na menya v okno
I mne kidayte svoi pal'chiki, da-a
Ved' ya sazhayu alyuminievye ogurtsy, a-a
Na brezentovom pole
Tri chukotskikh mudretsa
Tverdyat, tverdyat mne bez kontsa:
"Metall ne prinesyot ploda,
Igra ne stoit svech, a rezul'tat - truda",
No ya sazhayu alyuminievye ogurtsy, a-a
Na brezentovom pole
Zloe beloe koleno
Pytaetsya menya dostat',
Kolom koleno kolet veny
V nadezhd taynu razgadat',
Zachem ya sazhayu alyuminievye ogurtsy, a-a
Na brezentovom pole
Knopki, skrepki, klyopki,
Dyrki, bulki, vilki,
Zdes' traktory proydut moi
I upadut v kopilku, upadut tuda,
Gde ya sazhayu alyuminievye ogurtsy, a-a
Na brezentovom pole
Good morning, boys
Good morning, girls
Look at me from the window
And laugh about me, yeah
Cause I'm planting aluminium cucumbers
On a field of canvas
Three clever men from Chucotka
Prove to me again and again
That a metal can not bring me fruit
It's not worth the trouble
And the result's more work
But I'm planting aluminium cucumbers
On a field of canvas
There's the greatest evil fatigue,
It tries to catch me everywhere
Its stake stabs me in my veins
In trying to discover the secret of
Why I'm planting aluminium cucumbers
On a field of canvas
Knobs, clips, and rivets,
Holes, buns, and forks.
As my tractors pass right by
They'll fall into the money-box
They'll fall into the place
Where I'm planting aluminium cucumbers
On a field of canvas
