Он был титулярный советник,
Она - генеральская дочь;
Он скромно в любви объяснился,
Она прогнала его прочь.
Пошёл титулярный советник
и пьянствовал целую ночь.
И в винном тумане носилась
пред ним генеральская дочь!

Titular councilor
Language: English  after the Russian (Русский)
He was a titular councilor,
she - the General's daughter.
He timidly confessed his love,
she curtly dismissed him.
Away went the titular councilor
and got drunk all night.
But in the fog of the wine,
appeared before him the general's daughter!
