From Nasreddin at Bukhara by Wlad Sololovey

I am Khoja Nasreddin,

my master own pin!

And I will say -

I will not lie -

I will never die!

Let the Bukhara emir say

To the world the whole  in vain,

That I am a firebrand еand a thief,

let him prepared an axe shrift.

I am Khoja Nasreddin,

my master own twin!

And I will say -

I will not lie -

I will never die!

I will live, I will sing,

and look at the sun,

And shout to the whole world:

let the emir die! in scold!

I  am Khoja Nasreddin,

my master own twin!

And I will say -

I will not lie -

I will never die!

And the sultan has been preparing

an axe for me for a long time,

The Iranian shah - a rope, cannabic

the khan of Khiva - a  slow fire.

I am Khoja Nasreddin,

my master own twin!

And I will say -

I will not lie -

I will never die!

A beggar, barefoot, naked and worn,

I am a cheerful vagabond,

I will live, I will sing

and look at the sun.

I am Khoja Nasreddin,

my master own twin!

And I will say -

I will not lie -

I will never die!

A beloved son of the people

and protected by fate a little,

I laugh at the stupid sultan,

over the emir and even the khan!

I am Khoja Nasreddin,

my master own pin twin!

And I will say -

I will not lie -

I will never die!

I am Khoja Nasreddin - my own master,

And I will say - I will not lie - I will never die!
