I Came to buy a smile—today [Russian translation]

I Came to buy a smile—today—

But just a single smile—

The smallest one upon your face

Will suit me just as well—

The one that no one else would miss

It shone so very small—

I'm pleading at the "counter"—sir—

Could you afford to sell—

I've Diamonds—on my fingers—

You know what Diamonds are?

I've Rubies—like the Evening Blood—

And Topaz—like the star!

'Twould be "a Bargain" for a Jew!

Say—may I have it—Sir?
