У нас - Победа, а у вас – Березина́. We always have Victory; you always have Berezina!
More than 200 years ago Russia was celebrating the most joyful and happiest Christmas ever because Russia beat Napoleon, and it was the Victory of the Russian spirit over the Western ambitions, the French ones that time. So, we always have the Victory, you always have Berezina. У нас - всегда Победа. А у вас -вечная Березина (= поражение, defeat, спросите у французов). Take it for granted and mind your own business 😊
This Song of Lepeletie (Песенка Лепелетье) from «Гусарская баллада» (The Hussar Ballad), a 1962 Soviet musical film by Eldar Ryazanov, beautifully illustrates this evident fact.
Music: T. Khrennikov, Lyrics: А. Gladkov, performed by A. Eizen, translated by ©HFWR

Жил-был Анри IV,
Он славный был король,
Любил вино до черта,
Но трезв бывал порой.
Ля-ля-ля-ля, бум-бум….
There has been Henry IV
He was such a glorious king
He loved the wine a lot
Got sober little bit .
La-la-la-la, boom-boom….
Войну любил он страшно
И дрался, как петух,
И в схватке рукопашной
Один он стоил двух.
Ля-ля-ля-ля, бум-бум….
He also loved the war
Loved fighting like a rooster
In hand-to-hand combat
He one was worth two.
La-la-la-la, boom-boom….
Однажды смерть-старуха
Пришла за ним с клюкой,
Её ударил в ухо
Он рыцарской рукой.
Ля-ля-ля-ля, бум-бум….
One day death’s like an old bitch
She came for him with a stick,
He hit her in the ear
With his knightly hand.
La-la-la-la, boom-boom….

Но смерть полна коварства https://t.me/havefunwithrussian/6797
Его подстерегла,
И нанесла удар свой
Ножом из-за угла.
Ля-ля-ля-ля, бум-бум….
But death is full of intrigue
Was waylaid out for him
She struck from round the corner
With knife until the end.
La-la-la-la, boom-boom…
От этого удара
Кровь брызнула из жил,
И нечестивец старый
Скончался, как и жил.
Ля-ля-ля-ля, бум-бум….
From this fatal blow
Blood sprayed out from his veins
And our sinner wicked one
Deceased as he had lived. @havefunwithrussian #russianhistory #watchandlearn #russiansongs
