And here, all right to see, the city of Rome,

The Palace Vatican -

To All palaces a giant!

And there lives in it the Pope,

Zagryobistaja a paw!

As there you will arrive - immediately you will get poisoned by fumes...

Goes there money to wind.

There goes with a bag full of gold,

And therefrom comes back without boots on foot.

On walks national singers accompanied by chorus acted also.
