Текст песни
[Intro: upbeat electronic drum beat, synth bass, piano chord stabs. Boy soprano says "Meow!"]
[Verse 1: boy soprano clear, bright, playful.]
A black cat, he's twenty years old,
They call him Stepa, he's brave and bold.
On his sides — a silver grey stripe,
His eyes are two yellow headlights bright.
[Chorus 1: children's backing voices join with "la-la" or echo. Full modern beat, funky bass, piano.]
Stepa, Stepanych, Stepanovich, hey!
Stepa, Stepanych, Petrovich — hey!
He doesn't hide his silver hair,
Old but sprightly — he's got flair!
[Verse 2: same as Verse 1, playful.]
In the morning he drinks his milk,
Then jumps on the sofa — what a silk!
He'll jump and bounce, knock over a cup,
Then sleeps for two hours, curled right up.
[Chorus 2: repeat full chorus lyrics from Chorus 1.]
Stepa, Stepanych, Stepanovich, hey!
Stepa, Stepanych, Petrovich — hey!
He doesn't hide his silver hair,
Old but sprightly — he's got flair!
[Bridge: breakdown – only piano and soft synth, vocal intimate, then beat returns with brass stabs.]
A black cat with a greyish beard,
Who said that old age is something to fear?
He purrs: "My life is not in vain,
Twenty years is just half the lane!"
[Chorus 3: final, full energy, children's choir backing, boy soprano ad-libs "Meow-meow". Repeat full chorus.]
Stepa, Stepanych, Stepanovich, hey!
Stepa, Stepanych, Petrovich — hey!
He doesn't hide his silver hair,
Old but sprightly — he's got flair!
[Outro: music stops abruptly, single child's voice: "Meow!" – Silence.]
