The Green Spirit free translation from Vladimir Vysotsky

Spirits inspire my spirit.
I opened a bottle.
But instead of wine - can I bear it? -
Some crocodile or turtle.

These negative jokes suck.
Today I have very bad luck.
But if I decided something,
I'll drink.

This green and smelly dick
Jumped around my room,
But then - oh my magic stick! -
Turned into a man, rather gloom.

These negative jokes suck.
Today I have very bad luck.
But if I decided something,
I'll drink.

I asked: "Hello! Who are you?
Why did you hide in the bottle?
Why do you think I trust you?
Are you a man or a turtle?"

"I'm not a spy, I am spirit,
I'm grateful, master, to you,
You made me free, I can bear it,
I can beat everybody for you!"

"Thank you, my mighty spirit,
Don't beat them, but bring me some wine,
Make me some castle - I'll cheer it,
I like luxury, when it's mine".

"I am a bodyguard spirit, -
He said, - I cannot make wine.
If you shoul really cheer it,
I can beat two persons, it's mine".

"I don't trust you, dirty spirit!"
He showed me his qualification,
So I called cops - they could bear it.
Why should I have this frustration?

He could do nothing with cops.
They put him into some jail,
Or maybe he went into box,
Or to boxing, my green dirty snail?
