"From the devil got detached, yet to people never grew attached" Russian proverb.
"With the Night Came a Little Rain"
...what is this?...
...oh, I don't know...
Kostroma, you're my Kostromushka
Oh empress-lady mine!
Oh, why are you lying,
Why do you say nothing?...
Your legs are hacked off,
Your hands are cut off,
How shall we commemorate you?
There's no money, no candles, No funeral pastry rolls...
Kostroma, you're my Kostromushka Oh empress-lady mine!
That's how it is, pal... I've got no choice but to suffer...
I'm passionately submissive. Whatever she wants, I do.
How shall we commemorate you?
There's no money, no candles,
No funeral pastry rolls...
