In the city of Leningrad near Five Corners place Sanya Sokolov Got hit in the face: Out of tune the lad had sung and he made a scene, - Well, it means, was rightly done, what was due to him. In the city of Leningrad - only grace and peace! Where’re the punks, where’re the thieves? You just can not see! You can’t compare with Athens - It’s cold and bright at night, Though - the Swedes are here with Finns, - well, it’s all right! In the city of Leningrad - Taxis, like everywhere, - But no chance of stopping them - do not even dare! If you drink too much of vodka while you drunk and then - Even if you do not want, you’ll get to a taxi stand!
