Re: [Cz-L] Murka

Ruth,
 Hardy explained everything correctly
about the song "Murka".

The original text in Russian and Hebrew:
http://shaul.tryam.com/translations-hebrew/murka/
.
In this video, instead of Odessa is referred to Bukovina and Lviv (Lemberg)=
.
"Murka"- photos of Yulia Tymoshenko, former Prime Minister of Ukraine.

Reworked the text with a reference to Rabinowitz (also a very popular optio=
n)
- in Russian: http://murka-ukr.narod.ru/murka-evr.html
Translated into English using Google:

 Once we went "to business"* (to robbery)* - I and Rabinovich
 Rabinovich wanted to drink* (vodka)*
Why would a poor Jew does not drink
If it has no urgent cases?

Drink =96 so have a drink-drink-cooking,
We were at swanky restaurant.
There sat Murka, under her skirt
Had a revolver "Nagan" loaded with shot* (bullet).*

So we are not exposed, we have decided to escape
We decided to take revenge on Murka
In a dark alley near the synagogue
We decided to shoot her.

 -Hello, my Love, Hello, sweetheart.
Hello, dear, and goodbye!
In a dark alley near the synagogue
Get away from me a bullet!

Rabinovich was bummed =96 he was bummed,
And bullet is not in it, and in me - a little...
I'm lying in hospital, with a bullet in the tummy,
Rabinovich is drinking vodka 4 days.

I'm lying in a hospital, a sneaky Rabinovich -
 He is having fun with Murka without me!

 It's really funny :-)
