Vysotski, Cockeyed and Uneasy / Высоцкий, Две судьбы (subs by V. Chetin)

The video is here: Life was dandy in the first third, Twenty prime years in the wide world, Up to common tide. Well to do and always busy, At my will used to be steering, Drifting on through life, Be it creaking at a turn or Be it cracking in a whirl, I Wasn’t listening. Putting on shoes, taking off them, Prizing my own face in water, I was wetting whistle.
