the dust has only just begun to form crop circles in the carpet


This is the Russian Birthday song, or Crocodile Gena's song.
What's so funny is what the song means:
So what if pedestrians run
clumsily through puddles
and water is flowing along
the asphalt like a river.
It's unclear to the passers-by
On this horrible day
Why I am so happy.

I am playing the accordion.
In front of the passers-by
Unfortunately, my birthday
Is only once a year.

and it goes on to tell us about there being eskimos and other weird things, but I couldn't find the rest of the translation.

Here's the phonetic version of the Russian, for anyone who wants to sing it instead of our boring happy
birthday at their next party.

Poost begoot neooklyooshl
Peshehodee po loosham
Ee voda po asfaltoo rekoi
Ee neyasno prohosheem
V etot dyen nepogoshee
pochemoo ya vesyelee takoi

Chorus: sing twice
Ee ya eegrayoo na garmoshkye
Oo prohosh na veedoo
K soshaleneeyoo dyen roshdneeya
Tolko raz v godoo

Hope you enjoyed!
