You Would Be An Ideal Dictator, Poem by Liza Sud

You Would Be An Ideal Dictator,

You would be an ideal dictator,
our plants would be raised by you,
and the USSR will not disintegrate
but would have expanded - to Europe.

Heater batteries will be warm,
and joy in our eyes would play
and we would sing the Russian songs,
At the West - we'll expectorate.

Not the dollar you'd raise, but the ruble,
would revive the production at home,
and the people would not walk barefooted,
would not eat vegetables from abroad.

Because you are - the most clever,
because you possess the oration,
and emotions, and the Duma.
And you are in our hearts - for ever!


***

Ты бы был идеальный диктатор,
при тебе бы восстали заводы,
и СССР не распался,
а расширился бы - до Европы.

Батареи бы всех грели,
и веселье в глазах играло,
мы бы русские песни пели,
и плевали бы на Запад.

Ты возвысил бы рубль, а не доллар,
ты бы возродил производство,
и народ не ходил бы голый,
и не ел овощей заморских.

Потому что ты - самый умный,
потому что владеешь речью,
и эмоциями, и Думой.
И ты в наших сердцах - навечно!
