   Chapter I. We ask for the arrival of the king!

   People are tired of living in the country

   Without your king,

   And they wanted their master

   Serve as an eternal memory.

   And they saw that in far-off countries there was one,

   And bowed before them, asking the king!

   At least they didn't want to listen to them at first,

   But still we listened to their request:

   They were given a king to rule them.

   And the people, on his arrival in the Kingdom, fled,

   I was afraid, everyone was shaking, afraid.

   They saw their king and laughed,

   Was that the king last year,

   In the neighboring Kingdom of ruling,

   Didn't come out into the light, or even scold?

   No! Such a king will not suit us,

   He keeps too much out of our lives,

   Then what is the point of a king?

   Then the foreigners began to think,

   Should they even be given a king?

   But by their grace, they were given a king.

   They called him Peter the Great!

   It was completely different, the opposite

   The nature of what was then,

   The trials and executions began in a minute,

   Everyone was running in fear, everyone was running where!

   Everyone watched these deaths with horror,

   Afraid to be in the place of those unfortunate people.

   And they asked again for a new one,

   But the leader of the neighboring Kingdom told them:

   "Then why didn't you know how to live yourself?

   You've got all our ears pricked,

   They couldn't leave us alone,

   Asking for the king!

   We have given you a king, so that you have rejected,

   With a laugh he drove him from their lands!

   And now we have given you another king,

   So this one put you in fear.

   Live well with him, so that you will not be worse off!"

   Chapter II. Appearances can be deceptive

   I came once for fun

   A courtier in a jester's costume,

   How the nobles laughed,

   Yes how the tables jumped,

   Yes the jesters clapped,

   The slaves shouted:

   "Hurrah!"

   ***

   The croaking of crows was foreshadowed

   Arrival of a new Lord.

   The croaking of crows portends

   Arrival of the dark Lord!

   ***

   It was the priest,

   The priest's name is Basil!

   The priestess sits in the back,

   Yes, the priest is dreaming:

   "I wish I could hear her laugh

   Every day!"

   ***

   The white snow remains

   On the silver soles of the priest.

   ***

   A courtier in a jester's costume

   He held out his hand to the priest

   Hoping to shake hands,

   But his priest threw it away,

   Giving it only to the king and Queen.

   The priest of mercy asked the king:

   "I want to marry your daughter"

   ***

   The king looked at the priest,

   She shooed him away with a loud scream:

   "Get out!"

   ***

   The fool took off his costume,

   Yes, seeing the courtier, the priest
