Hitox — Полюбив гадючку

I saw her — and a minute froze She floats through the crowd like a ballerina A magic gaze, emerald eyes I didn’t know the whole truth then

But in a week the picture opened She’s not a flower — she’s a blizzard Something’s off — no, she starts to hiss And I don’t know where to go

Oh-vay, what trouble I grabbed the wrong worm by the tail She dances, I’m gone, I forget the world I swallow sweet poison drop by drop

And I fell in love with a little viper Took her by her white hand Thought she was my girl — turned out a snake Oh, snake, snake, snake Now you’re my fate Whether you bite or hiss — You still sweet-torment me

I came to her mother-in-law — a terrarium there Three cobras weave a scenario on me They look sideways, sharpen their tongues Whisper something about my fate

And my darling sheds her skin Now she wants a new dress, now a fur coat I bring her daisies — she says: “Not enough! I want gold shining in my ears”

Oh-vay, the Cossack is lost Caught in a coil — no way out She dances, I’m losing my mind I hold her slender waist

And I fell in love with a little viper Took her by her white hand Thought she was my girl — turned out a snake Oh, snake, snake, snake Now you’re my fate Whether you bite or hiss — You still sweet-torment me

Let people say: “Run while you can” But you can’t help my heart anymore You’re my dessert, you’re my danger With you at home it’s real heat

And I fell in love with a little viper Took her by her white hand Thought she was my girl — turned out a snake Oh, snake, snake, snake Now you’re my fate Whether you bite or hiss — You still sweet-torment me

My little viper, my beauty You’re like a spark in my heart Ay-ay-ay, like from a picture My sweet little poison I’m stuck in the terrarium Right in her scenario
