Thread: Please, translate correctly on russian (Pure morning)

Pure Morning

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend with weed is better,
A friend with breasts and all the rest,
A friend who's dressed in leather,

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who'll tease is better ,
Our thoughts compressed,
Which makes us blessed,
And makes for stormy weather,

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
My japanese is better,
And when she's pressed she will undress,
And then she's boxing clever,

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who bleeds is better,
My friend confessed she passed the test,
And we will never sever,

Day's dawning, skins crawling
Pure morning

это будет посильнее мумийтроля.
В целом, по мнению публики, смысл такой -

и в частности

например

>>The bit that goes "A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who bleeds is better,
My friend confessed she passed the test,
And we will never sever," Well it could mean That she got pregnant..But theyre never going to have an abortion*never sever*..Sever means to Kill. or so i think....Blah

но некоторые вещи не поддаются даже коллективному разуму -
>>anyone has an idea about the line 'my japanese is better' and 'boxing clever' ?

Переводить все я не осилю, но на всякий случай - weed это трава сиречь каннабис.

How about 'my Japanese is better'? What does it refer to?

So, we have translation, tada:

Доброе утро

Друг познается в беде,
Друг с косяком - лучше,
Друг с грудью - и все отдыхают,
Друг тот, кто ходит в коже,

Друг познается в беде,
Друг, который дразнит - лучше,
Наши мысли сближены,
Это делает нас счастливыми,
И делает погоду хмурой,

Друг познается в беде,
Моя японка лучше,
Когда она зажата, она будет раздета,
Потом мы побоксуем (Затем она добьется, чего хочет... хз),

Друг познается в беде,
Друг с месячными лучше,
Мой друг сказала, что прошла тест,
Теперь мы никогда не расстанемся,

День начинается, мурашки по коже,
Доброе утро.

Something like that .
Am I right?

P.S. to vox05: ссылки ниасилил

"A friend with breasts and all the rest" = "друг с грудями и всем остальным"...

Такое переводить - занятие неблагодарное.
