"Если у вас нету тёти" текст LYRICS "If You Have no Aunt"

The GENITIVE CASE is the backbone of this song. Learn about this case and enjoy this
wonderful song from the film: "Ирония судьбы, или С лёгким паром!"- 1977."The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy your bath"
This film is so sweet! Try to see it- you'll love it.
-----------------
Rough translation into English(by me-so it might not be perfect!):
If you don't have a house, it won't catch fire, and your wife won't leave you,
If you havent got a wife.
If you have not got a dog, he can't poison the neighbour, and not fight with another dog.
The orchestra is playing loudly, trumpets blow...
You must think for yourself-to have or have not.
If you have not got an aunt, you can't lose her.And if you don't live, you can't die.
The orchestra is playing loudly, trumpets blow..
You must think for yourself..to have or not to have!
--------------------
Hmmm....definitely something to think about!

@uneedtherapy42 Great! I am really glad that it's helpful. That's the whole reason I made this channel. Thanks for your comment!

A great song, very catchy and quite funny! Could you please post the English translation? I think I understand most of it, but some parts of the song are still a mystery. Thanks!

If you don't have a house, it won't catch fire, and your wife won't leave you,

If you haven, got a wife.

If you have not got a dog, he can't poison the neighbour, and not fight with another dog.

The orchestra is playing loudly, trumpets blow...

You must think for yourself-to have or have not.

If you have not got an aunt, you can't lose her.And if you don't live, you can't die.

The orchestra is playing loudly, trumpets blow..

You must think for yourself..to have or not to have!

[NEUSTADT4]

If you don't have a house, it won't catch fire

and your wife won't leave you, if you haven't got a wife

If you don't have a dog, then the neighbor can't poison it

and you won't get into fights with your friends, if you have no friend

The orchestra is playing loudly, trumpets blow...

You must think for yourself - to have or not to have.

[veralten]

[urrte]

Hi, I don't know if someone pointed out yet, havent read the comments, but instead the words:

he can't poison the neighbour- should be 'neighbour can't poison him'

love the movie though, reminds me my childhood

[LesVarioufs]

Does anyone know if this is on Itunes? I've tried to find it but it wasn't under this name - so if anyone knows the singer's name that would be really helpful :) And it did actually really help our class learn the genitive :p

Cela me rappele les chansons de Georges Brassens...gilbert,Ilhabela Bresil

[NEUSTADT4]

If you haven't got an aunt, then you won't lose her

and if you don't live, then you don't have to die

You must think for yourself - to have or not to have.
