                   SHIP TO RIOT


           Music and lyrics by Vladimir Vysotsky

 The vessel riot! Gulls hover over us.
 Yesterday, because of gold doubloons
 Two scoundrels hanged on the yard,
 But enough! Could be four.


       Catch the wind with all sails

       Why guess? Any vehicle - the enemy.

       Good luck - a myth, but that faith itself

       We have created, raising the black flag.

 Whom the ship was rolling from the tank,
 Forgotten by all, and honor, and sprees,

  And whining, maybe from fear,
 They got the long knives.


       Catch the wind with all sails

       Why guess? Any vehicle - the enemy.

       Good luck - a moment. And this belief themselves

       We have created, raising the black flag.


  Here are two men in the captain's finger poked:
 "Get him!" - And they are not afraid of hell,
 But the captain of the yesterday's booty
 When the entire team thrown overboard.


       Catch the wind with all sails

       Why guess? Any vehicle - the enemy.

       Good luck - a moment! But this faith themselves

       We have created, raising the black flag.

 But here's a wave of similar nadgobyu,
 All washed away. With throats dropped a hand!
 Throw overboard all that smells of blood,
 Believe me, the price is low.


       Catch the wind with all sails

       Why guess? Any vehicle - the enemy.

       Good luck - here! And this belief themselves

       We have created, raising the black flag.
