Ты женился как-то раз
You got married once upon a time
Явно сглазил чёрный глаз
Clearly cursed by a dark gaze
Но ты нервничать не стал
But you didn't get all worked up
Мал-помал ты привыкал, йе-е!
Little by little you got used to it, yeah!
Я храпела, словно бык
I snored like a bull
Как ни баба, а мужик
In every woman, there's a man
Но ты уши затыкал
But you were blocking your ears
Мал-помал ты привыкал, йе-е!
Little by little you got used to it, yeah!
Я готовила еду
I was cooking up some food
С лебедою череду
With a swan as my guest
Ты давился и икал
You choked and hiccuped
Мал-помал ты привыкал, йе-е, аа!
Bit by bit, you got used to it, yeh-eh, aa!
Ты хотел меня любить
You wanted to love me
Я уняла твою прыть
I calmed your haste
Я сказала: Очень мал
I said: It's very small
Мал-помал ты привыкал, йе-е, оо, ха-ха!
Bit by bit, you got used to it, yeh-eh, oo, ha-ha!
Вместо ласки слышишь лай
Instead of affection, you hear barking
Только деньги ей давай
Just give her money, that's all
Он и плакал, и рыдал
He cried and wept
Мал-помалу привыкал, йе-е!
Little by little, he got used to it, yeh-eh!
Е! Е! Е! Е-е!
Eh! Eh! Eh! Eh-eh!
Мал-помалу, мал-помалу
Little by little, little by little
Мал-помалу, мал-помалу
Little by little, little by little
Год за годом время шло
Year by year, time went on
Все стерпелось, зажило, йе!
Everything was endured, it has healed, yeh!
Ты все понял и постиг, о
You understood and comprehended it all, oh
Мал-помалу ты привык
Little by little, you got used to it
Только вьюги улеглись
Only the snowstorms have settled down
Мы с тобою развелись
We have parted ways, you and I
Есть занятие опять
There's something to occupy me again
Мал-помалу отвыкать
Little by little I'm getting used to it
Е! Е-е! Е! Е-е!
Eh! Eh-eh! Eh! Eh-eh!
Мал-помалу, мал-помалу
Little by little, little by little
Мал-помалу, мал-помалу!
Little by little, little by little!
