Versuri Bibs Ekkel – Hoyka Hoyka, Santa's Pinched My Troika (Hoika, Hoika) lyrics
It was strange to see the snowfalls in the summer,
When the penguins came to stay in Krasnodar.
But when news came of a reindeer striking Lapland,
People thought that things had gone a bit too far!
Ai-tam-drai-ta-drai-ram
Dat-nai-da-ta-ra-dai-dam-ta-da-da
But the news came of a reindeer striking Lapland,
And people thought that things had gone a bit too far!
Hoika, hoika, Santa’s pinched my troika!
He just jumped in and drove off in my sleigh.
Why the silly man is drunk again?
It seems that he can’t stand the strain
Of русская попойка1 every day!
Hoika, hoika, Santa’s pinched my troika!
I know he has to drive a long, long way.
As he takes the presents round
To those people on the ground
Let the balalaikas play on Christmas Day!
I drove up in my troika
For the Christmas Eve попойка2
Auntie Dunia went and got the vodka out.
Just then I heard the horse’s name,
And someone drove off in my sleigh,
And I ran into the garden with a shout
– Ой, что такое?!3
Hoika, hoika, Santa’s pinched my troika!
He just jumped in and drove off in my sleigh.
Дед Мороз4 is drunk again!
It seems that he can’t stand the strain
Of Stroganoff and vodka every day!
Hoika, hoika, Santa’s pinched my troika!
I know he has to drive a long, long way.
As he takes the presents round
To those people on the ground
Let me hear those balalaikas start to play!
All around the world, from Africa to Europe
By the tinsel-covered tree in every town
People wondered what they’d say
To the kids on Christmas Day
When they woke to find that Santa’d let them down.
– Ой, что такое, друзья?!5
Hoika, hoika, Santa’s pinched my troika!
He just jumped in and drove off in my sleigh.
That silly old man is drunk again!
It seems that he can’t stand the strain
Of Stroganoff and vodka every day!
Hoika, hoika, Santa’s pinched my troika!
I know he has to drive a long, long way.
As he takes the presents round
To those people on the ground
Let the balalaikas play on Christmas Day!
– Эй, давайте вместе!6
Hoika, hoika, Santa’s pinched my troika!
He just jumped in and drove off in my sleigh.
That silly old man is drunk again
It seems that he can’t stand the strain
Of русская попойка1 every day!
Hoika, hoika, Santa’s pinched my troika!
I know he has to drive a long, long way.
As he takes the presents around
To those people on the ground
Let the balalaikas play on Christmas Day!
