You were born in a palace by the sea
Palace by the sea
But will it be?
Is it true

And at three years old already knew how to ride
Did I know how to ride?
And the horse
Was white

Made faces to scare the uncle
Who fell in the river
But how mean
And smiled

And apologized when dad arrived and saw
You should remember
Make an effort
Time is passing and we have much to teach

Alright, I'm ready

Shoulders back
Face up high
Instead of walking, you'll float

I feel a bit silly
I'm floating
Just need to fly

Will bow
Reverence
And they'll kiss your hand
Listen well, pay attention

If I was learning
You will learn
Born already knowing
Seeing yourself

Follow my steps
Look closely
You'll do the same

Now sit and stand straight
And never eat stroganoff
Never cared for stroganoff
Talked like a Romanov

The samovar
The caviar
Dinner and rest?
Only after studying

If I was learning
He was learning
If you keep insisting
You'll succeed

Say it's easy
And then see
You will learn

And now we memorize the names of royalty
Kropotkin, Matibolvkin, Lanobotkin
And dear Uncle Vanya, drinks vodka, got it?
No

And Baron Pushkin
Was
Short
He was

Macho, Count Serguei, always in a hat
He was so good he went to heaven
His cat was yellow
We didn't tell you this fact

If they were learning
I am learning
How did you know?
I always knew

And I even believe I know more
Anya, you're amazing!

If I was learning (yes, I'm learning)
She was learning (we're learning)
If you keep insisting, you'll succeed

Say it's easy
And then see
That you're learning (I'm knowing)
That you'll also learn!
