1814, “Bystro-Bystro!”

“Bystro-Bystro!” cried the Cossacks and it turned in French ‘Bistro’. Their faces in beads of sweat couldn’t frighten any more. When they waved the glasses and fur-caps without feathers, Who could guess these drunkards had attacked so well together! Those days they didn’t know any ceviche, salmon, yogurt, And the word like origami made them think, “Is it a boggard?” But the French avoided making fun of ‘Russian beasts’, Who justscoffed the worldwide food, while having feasts. Yes, they were naïve, the fighters, who, I said before, Cried in Paris Russian ‘Bystro’, and it turned in French ‘Bistro’.
