"Vdowa i Gorbun" (рус. Вдова и Горбун) (eng. The Widow and the Hunchback) is a song by Russian punk-rock band King and Jester (рус. Король и Шут) from their 2002 album Жаль, нет ружья (Too Bad, There Is No Rifle). It tells the story of a widow who constantly gets chased by a perverted and discourteous hunchback named Johann, who is obsessed with her.

Lyrics[]

В одном селе жила несчастная вдова.
С тех пор как помер муж всё одинёшенька была.
С рассвета до темна спасалась как могла
От соседа Иоганна-горбуна!
Горбатый Иоганн на внешность был поган,
И в обращении с женщиной был просто хулиган:
Бодался, как баран, и хрюкал, как кабан,
Его б такого в клетку и на балаган!

Проклятый горбун, чего тебе надо?
С тобой не хочу я стоять даже рядом
Оставь ты меня, горемыку в покое
И хватит следить отовсюду за мною.

Был зимний вечерок, горбатый весь продрог
Пока вдову в сарае наконец не подстерёг
Он сбил соседку с ног, на сено поволок
С коварным смехом, в самый тёмный уголок!
И ничего вдова поделать не могла.
Шепнула Иоганну, что разденется сама.
"Твоя, горбун, взяла, " - слукавила она,
Рукой нащупав в сене ручку топора!

Проклятый горбун, чего тебе надо?
С тобой не хочу я стоять даже рядом
Оставь ты меня, горемыку в покое
И хватит следить отовсюду за мною.

В истерике горбун ревел, как граммофон,
Вертелся, как волчок, как мячик, прыгал он.
С разгону вышиб дверь своим могучим лбом.
Бежал из дома прочь с отрубленным горбом!

Проклятый горбун, чего тебе надо?
С тобой не хочу я стоять даже рядом
Оставь ты меня, горемыку в покое
И хватит следить отовсюду за мною.

Проклятый горбун, чего тебе надо?
С тобой не хочу я стоять даже рядом
Оставь ты меня, горемыку в покое
И хватит следить отовсюду за мною.

In one village there lived an unhappy widow.
Since her husband died, she's been all alone.
From dawn to dark, she escaped as best she could
From a neighbor, Johann the Hunchback.
The hunchbacked Johann was filthy in appearance,
And in the treatment of the woman was just a bully:
Butted like a ram and grunted like a boar,
They'd put him in a cage—and on a farce!

"Damn hunchback, what do you want?
I don't even want to stand next to you.
Leave me alone, the poor woman,
And stop following me from everywhere!"

It was a wonderful evening, the hunchback was all chilled,
Until the widow was finally waylaid in the barn,
He knocked down a neighbor, dragged her to the hay
With an insidious laugh in the darkest corner!
And there was nothing the widow could do,
She whispered to Johann that she would undress herself.
Yours, hunchback, took it," she said,
With her hand she felt the handle of the axe in the hay!

"Damn hunchback, what do you want?
I don't even want to stand next to you.
Leave me alone, the poor woman,
And stop following me from everywhere!"

In hysterics, the hunchback roared like a gramophone,
He spun like a top, he jumped like a ball,
He kicked the door down with his mighty forehead —
Ran away from home with a severed hump!

"Damn hunchback, what do you want?
I don't even want to stand next to you.
Leave me alone, the poor woman,
And stop following me from everywhere!"

"Damn hunchback, what do you want?
I don't even want to stand next to you.
Leave me alone, the poor woman,
And stop following me from everywhere!"
