Утренняя гимнастика - Morning Gymnastics
Владимир Высоцкий - Vladimir Vysotsky

Take a deep breath, put your arms farther out,
Don't hurry, - three - four!
Cheerful morale, grace and elasticity!
Overall strengthening,
And in the morning sobering,
If you're still alive - Gymnastics!

If you are in your apartment,
Lay down on the floor - three - four!
Carry out the exercize correctly!
Get away from outside influences -
Get used to the novelty,
Take a deep breath and hold it As long as possible!

All over the world the influenza virus
Has spread - three - four!
Illnesses spread and grow.
If you are sickly - you go right away to a coffin!
Guard your health
Change your hankies!

If you are already tired -
Squat - stand, squat - stand,
Aren't the Artic and Antarctic frightening to you!
Chief Academician Joffe
Has shown: coffee and booze
Are to be traded for prophy-lactic sports!

It's not necessary to talk about it
Squat down until you fall,
Now don't be glum and gloomy!
If you don't know how
Take off what you have to,
And take part in aquatic procedures!

Bad news isn't terrifying
In response we run in place,
Even the beginner wins.
The beauty of it is that amoung the runners
There is no first or last place,
Running in place is an example to the community!


Inhale deeply, arms - out more,
Do not hurry - three and four!
Grace and pliability are emphasized!
All around conditioning,
And hangover quickening,
If you're still alive and fidgeting -
Exercise!

If you're working out at home,
Do lie down!- three and four!
Correctly go through every single motion!
Lose the tension that you feel,
Get accustomed to the drill!
Inhale deeply right until...
Exhaustion!

Quickly growing 'round the world -
Flu and illness - three and four!
The disease is gradually flourishing!
If you're weak - straight to the grave!
If you want your wellness saved,
With a towel rub yourself,
It's nourishing!

If already you feel spent,
Sit and stand, sit and stand -
Do not fear the Arctic and Antarctic!
Our main scholar Dr. Joffe
Proved to us that booze and coffee
Will be replaced by athletic prophy -
- lactic

All the talking should be stopped
Keep on squatting 'till you drop
Do not be such gloomy creatures!
If you cannot hold your ardor
Rub yourself with something harder
In the water, you can start the
Drilled procedures

We're not scared of doltish talk -
In response we run and walk,-
Amateurs - triumphant from the start!
Beautiful!- right from beginning
No one's losing, no one's winning
Stationary running is bringing
Peace to hearts!
