Freed, he has shot the Sultan’s wife,

Nor will he spare the daughter’s life.

“This was a king once,” Bida cries,

“But see how stiff and cold it lies!

“Well, as for me, I surely think

That I deserve another drink.”

Bida, Bida drinks honey-horeevka

Not one day, not two days, not one night only.
