The heaviest burden for those carnivores
Is raising a glass.
Let us also give ourselves this happiness,
Let us raise a glass.

Toast
There is nothing strange here, my dear.
We eat cabbage, we eat beans,
They keep eating meat.
According to the laws of nature,
Herbivores are the natural food of carnivores.
Human laws and human rights
Are empty things. We should still be glad
That they only eat our rights.
They could eat us, too.
Let us celebrate this happiness:
Pickled cabbage, a bowl of beans,
Cheese, bread, and a cheap bottle of vodka.
Let us raise a toast
To the honor of herbivores.
And let us also rejoice that
The age of cannibals is over,
Cannibalism is in the past.
Let us raise a glass
To the honor of the modern age.
The heaviest burden for those carnivores
Is raising a glass.
Let us also give ourselves this happiness,
Let us raise a glass.
Let us escape hard work for one day.
On our lightest day,
Let us raise the “heaviest” burden.
Let us give up vegetarianism for one day,
With the cheapest sausage.
