[Anatole & dolokhov]
Hey balaga
Ho balaga
Hey hey ho balaga
Hey hey balaga
The famous troika driver
Hey balaga
Ho balaga
Hey hey hey balaga
Hey hey balaga
The famous troika driver
[Balaga]
Who’s that madman flying at full gallop down the street
Who’s that madman knocking people over
Running people down
While his fine gentlemen
Hold on to their seats
[Anatole & dolokhov]
It’s balaga!
[Balaga]
Driving mad at twelve miles an hour
[Anatole & dolokhov]
Balaga!
[Balaga]
Comin’ straight at you
Get out my way, get out my way
[Anatole & dolokhov]
Balaga!
[Balaga]
Lashin’ my whip at horses and peasants
[Anatole & dolokhov]
Balaga!
[Balaga]
Risking skin and life twenty times a year
For my fine fine gentlemen
Yessir hey ho yessir
Yessir yessir yessir
[Anatole & dolokhov]
More than once!
[Balaga]
From tula to moscow and back in just one night
[Anatole & dolokhov]
More than once!
[Balaga]
A narrow escape from a wild cossack fight
[Anatole & dolokhov]
More than once!
[Balaga]
They’ve beaten me and slapped me with their gloves
[Anatole & dolokhov]
More than once!
[Balaga]
Made me drunk on champagne, which I love!
[All]
Hey balaga
Ho balaga
Hey hey ho balaga
Hey hey balaga
The famous troika driver
Hey balaga
Ho balaga
Hey hey hey balaga
Hey hey balaga
The famous troika driver
[Anatole]
Who’s that slowpoke we abuse with wild and tipsy shouts
[Balaga]
Who knows things that would get you sent straight to siberia
If anyone found out
[All]
It’s balaga!
[Balaga]
Driving mad at twelve miles an hour
[All]
Balaga!
[Balaga]
Comin’ straight at you
Get out my way, get out my way
[All]
Balaga!
[Balaga]
Drinking and dancing with my ruska roma
[All]
Balaga!
[Balaga]
Riding my horses into the ground
For my fine fine gentlemen
Yessir hey ho yessir
Yessir yessir yessir
[All]
More than once!
[Balaga]
Driven you round with ladies on your laps
[All]
More than once!
[Balaga]
Taken you places not on any maps
[All]
More than once!
[Balaga]
Galloped faster than ordinary men would dare
[All]
More than once!
[Balaga]
Jumped my troika right into the air
And I never ask for rubles
Except maybe once a year
I don’t do this for rubles
I do it cuz I like ’em!
[All]
And we like balaga too!
[Anatole]
Whoa
[All]
Whoa
[Balaga]
That's my song!
[All]
Whoa
Whoa
