One of best comedies ever...Hope it could be translated properly in English, but I dont think it's possible for Western Europe inhabitants understand the topics eventough movie would be translated in English.
the song is ofc intended to be a tongue-in-cheek about soviet regime, but due to the nature of umbiguous language used the issues end up being very universal. this song is not just about any specific nation or place - it's about an endless human suffering which is universal to all humanity, no matter where you come from.
an island of missfortune is in the ocean fully covered by vegetation, absolutely green. an island of missfortune is in the ocean fully covered by vegetation, absolutely green. inhabited by poor unhappy savages - ugly on the outside but good on the inside. ugly on the outside but good on the inside. no matter what they do - nothing goes their way, seems their mothers gave them birth on monday. seems their mothers gave them birth on monday, no matter what they do - nothing goes their way.
ну хоть кто-то из 12 страниц комментов написал, что Никулин величайший актер ))) я обожаю Миронова, но согласитесь, Никулин - легенда. легенда кино, легенда цирка, легенда юмора! Человечище был! скольким людям он помог абсолютно бескорыстно!!! когда он умер у меня лично было ощущение, что умер мой родной дед. и могу поклясться, что так чувствовало себя половина бывшего СССР! а Анатолий Папанов?! а сам Гайдай?! ведь таких фильмов, которые снимал он - больше не снимет никто!
а вот разве можно теперь снять фильм такой же прекрасный,ели у нас такие опопселые актеришки,а все режжисеры если не великие,то выдающиеся накраиняк.Им до таких мастеров ещё расти и расти
А какже Никулин, Вицин, Моргунов, Папанов, Ливанов и т.д. одним словом Русские фильмы и вообще вся Россия САМАЯ ЛУЧШАЯ В МИРЕ только вот убить её пытаются безбожные америкосы!!!!!
@0309Yura юра, про актеров согласен, но вот причем тут америкосы? ты знаешь, где от нас находится америка? экономически она может влиять, но кино снимать она никак помешать не может. это уже паранойя и в большей степени наше падение культуры.

The Island of Bad Luck" ("Остров невезения") seems to be keen satire of the Soviet Union hidden behind the Iron Curtain where nothing works no matter how hard "the aborigines" try. ("Крокодил не ловится, не растет кокос, плачут, богу молятся, не жалея слез" -- "A croc won't get hunted, the cocos won't grow, so they weep, and they pray, sparing no tears".)
often people analyze too much... And come to b.s. conclusions. Most of what people come up with during such analysys was not really intended by the author.
the artistic nature of those actors is beyond words!do you think that the song is about africa&allthe continent rape by the powerful empires thrughout our human hitory?
It is not verbatum but a general translation. The song is about a tribe af a poor aborigenes who lives in unknown island with a common feature, all of them are born on Mondays in unknown days and unknown years. Thus, they cry from morning to evening about their misfortune. They also do not know the present date, the time, the year because they do not have a calendar.The irony of the episod is in rythm and melody of the song ("swing"). It is contradicts the content and looks suspicious.

Ok, so I tried for a translation :) Island Of Bad Luck All covered in green, completely green... There is an island of bad luck in the ocean ... There do live unfortunate savage people Scary on the outside but good inside... ... No matter what they do, everything goes wrong It seems as if they were given birth on a Monday ... Crocodile fishing fails and coconut does not grow They cry and they pray, not saving their tears ...
Actually, they are no bad workers, they could have a good life Could they but just abolish those Mondays! ... Sadly enough, they don`t have a calendar on the island The young and the old ones just suffer for nothing... ... Therefore every night till the break of dawn The unfortunate savage people cry on and on... ... Therefore the poor ones sob and curse their misfortune On an unknown day, in an unknown year...

children and adults suffer for nothing -
there's no calendar on the damned island!
on this occasion in the deaf of night
unhappy savages cry
and the poor sods weep
and curse their fate
on unknown day
in unknown year
there...my attempt at litteral translation. hope you like it! :)

can't seem to catch a crocodile, can't grow a coconut -
they cry and pray to god without sparing tears.
they cry and pray to god without sparing tears -
can't seem to catch a crocodile, can't grow a coconut.
they don't seem lazy, they could have good lives.
maybe we should cancel mondays for them.
