(Группа Браво) Жанна Агузарова - Чёрный кот

There was ("lived and was") a black cat around the corner
And the whole house hated the cat
But (this) song is "entirely not about that" (not about, how)
How didn't get along people with the cat

Целый день во дворе суета
Прогоняют с дороги кота
Только песня совсем не о том
Как охотился двор за котом

Whole day there's a bustle in the courtyard
(People) chase away the cat from (their) path/road
But this song is entirely not about
how a courtyard was hunting "for the cat"

Даже с кошкой своей за версту
Приходилось встречаться коту
Только песня совсем не о том
Как мурлыкала кошка с котом

Even with his pussycat, a mile away
The cat was forced to meet
But this song is entirely not about
how was purring pussycat with a cat

Этот кот от ушей до хвоста
Был черней чем сама чернота
Да и песенка в общем о том
Как обидно быть черным котом

This cat, from ears to tail
Was blacker then the darkness itself ("blackness herself")
And the ditty, in general, is about
how it's vexing/"insulting" to be a black cat
