Thread: Can somebody please explain this?

Maybe I am missing something in the translation.

Ешь пирог с грибами, а язык держи за зубами.
Eat a pie with mushrooms, and hold your tongue behind your teeth.

Eat pie with mushrooms, but keep your tongue behind your teeth.

Thanks,
But is there any hidden meaning?

The last paragraph there answers your question. It says it's a proverb from the Stalin era, which roughly means "Hear much, speak little".

Thanks Darobat.
You are very good at finding things.
