Don't go away, stay with me.
A tenant lived in an apartment, A bedbug lived by his side:
Like in a shooting range, it would aim
Into the chest, the side, the forehead.
At night, the bedbug always Would go on the attack:
The tenant scratched himself like mad
Until he fell asleep.
The bedbug grew bigger than a nut, And would crawl with great effort...
With great effort, With great, great effort...
But suddenly, our tenant left - He left, moved out...
Hey! Come on, Nastasia!
Get going!
(???)
He moved into a new home.
The new home had a bath, Parquet flooring and what not!
And yet, strange though it may seem,
He couldn't sleep all night. He couldn't sleep all night.
Couldn't sleep all night.
Homesickness gnawed at the tenant
In the depths of his chest,
He simply could not sleep
Without his dear bedbug.
Suddenly, he calls the caretaker, And makes a firm demand:
Hey, go get my friend, my bedbug; Send out an automobile!
[Rental Car]
All come out to greet the bedbug, Who comes with the old junk:
They shout "hurrah", they wave, And show him great respect.
The welcome's in a major key, The welcome's like a warm shower:
For the bedbug on the grammophone They loudly play a dance!
The old life's is back again. The bedbug's given a free pass -
Into pillows, blanket, Briefcase and trunk.
Don't go away, stay with me.
And so that bedbug, that familiar bedbug,
The tenant nurtures like before:
The tenant once again
Sleeps soundly and eats well!
Enough!
You have to know how to live in new homes.
When moving into a new home,
leave all the old junk and old habits behind!
One must
know how to live in a new home.
