    It's funny how someone being happy about their brother returning from war can turn into a war of the ideologies

    I tried to make a translation.


    Подумаешь — в семье не очень складно,
    I say all is well with your family
    Подумаешь — неважно с головой,
    I say unimportant in your head ???
    Подумаешь — с работою неладно, —
    I say your job is wrong
    Скажи ещё спасибо, что живой.
    Always say thanks to be alive

    Ну что ж такого — мучает изжога?
    Well what about being tortured by heartburn
    Ну что ж такого — не пришёл домой?
    Well what about no return home
    Ну что ж такого — наказали строго? —
    Well what about severe punishment
    Скажи ещё спасибо, что живой.
    Always say thanks to be alive

    Нечего играть с судьбою в прятки!
    Nothing plays hide and seek with destiny
    Так давай, кривая, вывози!
    So go, ???, take out!
    В общем, всё нормально, всё в порядке,
    In general, everything is normal, in order.
    Всё, как говорится, "на мази"!
    Everything as they say, “oiled”

    Что-что? Партнёр играет слишком грубо?
    What? Your partner plays too rough?
    Что-что? Приснился ночью домовой?
    What? Dreamt to be home at night?
    Что-что? На ринге выбили два зуба?
    What? Two teeth have been beaten out?
    Скажи ещё спасибо, что живой.
    Always say thanks to be alive

    Да ладно — потерял алмаз в опилках,
    Well all right, you lost a diamond in sawdust,
    Ну, ладно, что на финише другой,
    But, all right, somebody else finished (first)
    Да ладно — потащили на носилках,
    Yes, all right, being carried out on an stretcher.
    Скажи ещё спасибо, что живой.
    Always say thanks to be alive

    Нечего играть с судьбою в прятки!
    Так давай, кривая, вывози!
    В общем, всё нормально, всё в порядке,
    И, как говорится, "на мази"!

    Неважно, что не ты играл на скрипке,
    It’s unimportant, that you don’t play violin,
    Неважно, что ты бледный и худой,
    It’s unimportant, that you’re pale and thin
    Неважно, что побили по ошибке,
    It’s unimportant, that you’re beaten by mistake
    Скажи ещё спасибо, что живой.
    Always say thanks to be alive

    Всё правильно: кто хочет — тот и может,
    All is right: who wants, can
    Всё верно: в каждом деле выбор — твой,
    All is true: In every matter you have choice
    Всё так; но вот одно меня тревожит:
    All well; but here’s one that puzzles me:
    Кому сказать спасибо, что живой?
    To whom to tell thanks to be alive

    И нечего играть с судьбою в прятки!
    Так давай, кривая, вывози!
    В общем, всё нормально, всё в порядке,
    Всё, как говорится, "на мази"!
    Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

    If he wants to argue with you he can I'm not going to stick up for him. We do have starving people, homeless people, sometimes people freeze to death downtown, etc. There is a 3 month wait to get into the homeless shelter ih Salt Lake...but my mom was in the peace corps in Africa and I have heard all kinds of things so I think my teacher is wrong too.

    We do have poor people. But they are FAR from being poorest of the poor.
