Once, I had a palace Here, merely a flat I fled with some diamonds And that was that It's very tragic Once, ladies-in waiting All bending a knee Now, only one lady-in-waiting— me No fanfares (Or sedan chairs) And no coaches (And we sold our broaches) No afternoon card games with the Tsar No caviar (but I say we're not dead now) We're not dead now We're in France instead, now Let us not be sad The night's young And Russians are mad, so Let's live in the land of yesterday Live in the grand Imperial heyday Let's live in the land of yesterday Russia (Husha!) Let's put on the fancy clothes And let's while our woes away In Russia Land of yesterday In dire circumstances Why wallow in regret? We're out of second chances Why are we here, except to forget? We know the world is fickle Life is a leaky sieve Pass me a glass and give me a bow And drink to the countess nobody now Why should I care as long as I dare to live In the land of yesterday Let's run up the bill as if we're still Royalty at play In Russia, land of yesterday The night's young And Russians are mad, so Let's live in the land of yesterday Live in the grand Imperial heyday Let's live in the land of yesterday Russia (Husha!) Let's brush off the days of old And let's hold the world at bay Yes, here's to Russia! Here's to Russia! Here's to Russia! Land of yesterday Land of yesterday, hey
