1. The trick-or-treaters are on their way.
One is playing his clarinet.
Another is lying on a wheelbarrow.
A third one is drinking Duskoje Geru, [A brand name]
And all of them are somewhat tipsy.
And because of that their heads are spinning.

Lenten Eve, Lenten Eve, you are fun.
The best holiday of the year.
Lenten Eve, Lenten Eve, you are fun.
Yesterday in Zhilow it was fun.

2. Each summer in the country,
The songs on the way to town ring out.
Lenten Eve in the country
Also along our ?
Teacher Kuza pulls us along
You know that you’re a nothing, that you’re not along the ?

Lenten Eve, Lenten Eve, you’re fun,
The best holiday of the year.
Lenten Eve, Lenten Eve, you’re fun,
Yesterday in Zhilow it was fun.


Chorus:
Hey Lenten Eve! Hey Lenten Eve!
Lenten Eve, Lenten Eve, you’re fun,
The best holiday of the year.
Lenten Eve, Lenten Eve, you’re fun,
Yesterday in Zhilow it was fun.
Yesterday in Zhilow it was fun.



04. Zapust Marschpolka

1. Du-cy su te za-pus-tar-je,
jaden du-jo kla-ri-ne-tu.
Dru-gi la-žy juž na kar-je,
tśe-śi tło-cy Duš-koje Ge-ru,
wšy-kne su juž né-co pi-zi
a se pśi tom w gło-wje zwi-li.

Za-pust, za-pust, ty sy rě-dny,
swě-źeń kuž-de lě-to prě-dny,
za-pust, za-pust, ty sy rě-dny.
Co-ra w Žy-low-je był siě-dny!

2. Kuž-de lě-to we jsy brin-cy,

Za-pust se po wja-sce ku-za,

prě-zy śě-gnjo cep-taŕ Ku-za,
Wěś až ty sy jad-na nu-la, až ty njej-sy pód-la bu-za?

Za-pust, za-pust, ty sy rě-dny,
swě-źeń kuž-de lě-to prě-dny,

Co-ra w Žy-low-je był siě-dny!

Chorus:
He! Za-pust! He Za-pust!
Za-pust, za-pust, ty sy rě-dny,

Za-pust, za-pust ty sy rě-dny,
co-ra w Žy-low-je był siě-dny!
co-ra w Žy-low-je był siě-dny!
