Dogs were barking, guests were parking
and my wedding was about to start
Dogs were barking, monkey clapping
Then I got up on table and I said:
I'll meet you 10:45 on the Broadway Canal
in a disco-radical-transglobal...
companja cooking up the original mixtura
s ulitzy do ulitzy the brilliant bassura
Mama...Diaspora!
Papa v Gogol Bordello!
Energija probuzdenija i ja!
Dogs were barking, monkey clapping
bears were dancing and girls were cutting loose
Cops were lurking, kids were snarkling
then her father came up to me and said:
Vi bivali kogda nibud na vistavke sobak?
She was a 5-45, nashe delo tabak...
Da ja zge starij dobrij Optza-Hotza-Hutzulo-Dzigit!
govorjat prosto bolnai, tak nichego zge ne bilit!
Mama...Diaspora!
Papa v Gogol Bordello!
Energija probuzdenija i ja!
Remember things that are eternal..
eternal things...you forgot those things
Nelzja ponjat, nelzja izmerit
tolko prostzat, i tolko vvis!
To make it all even more crooked
is impossibility of a suicide
You pull the trigger, yet you are still standing...
just somewhere else, but with same dick in your hand

now dub it tovarisch, like tovarisch would...
