Lyrics[]

Russian (Русский текст) Romanization (Романизация)
На чужой каравай рот не разевай. Na chuzhoy karavay rot ne razevay.
Хочешь есть калачи - не лежи на печи. Khochesh' yest' kalachi - ne lezhi na pechi.
Словом "сахар", малыш, чай не подсластишь. Slovom "sakhar", malysh, chay ne podslastish'.
Хлеб соседа вкусней, а жена красивей. Khleb soseda vkusney, a zhena krasivey.
Хочешь ты отдыхать - научись пахать. Khochesh' ty otdykhat' - nauchis' pakhat'.
Чей калач ты жуешь - того песни поешь. Chey kalach ty zhuyesh' - togo pesni poyesh'.

Каравай, каравай ... рот открыл - закрывай. Karavay, karavay ... rot otkryl - zakryvay.

Below is an official English translation: via Producer. Amendments may have been made to the original translation.

Want some food on your plate -- don't wake up so late.
Want to butter your bread -- don't be lazy and fat.
What is one man's good can be poison to you.
Do the job you know best -- that will feel like rest.
Want to win someone's heart -- get a job for a start.
Only he is good who provides you with food.

Only through working hard you will get very far.
