Runglish

[Wilson Gray]

How about [fstr] in _vstrecha_? Or do _biznesmeny_ prefer _miting_, nowadays?

Sineet more za bul'varom
Kashtan nad gorodom tsvetet
Nash Konstantin beret gitaru
I tikhim golosom poet:

Ia vam ne skazhu za vsiu Odessu
Vsia Odessa ochen' velika
No i moldovanka i _peresyp_
Obozhaiut Kostiu moriaka

Chto znachit _peresyp_? It's not in Smirnitskii.

-Wilson
