С одесского кичмана (From an Odessan Jail) [Eng. Rus.* and Romanized Lyrics]

On the 17th of March, 1938, in the Kremlin, Joseph Stalin requested this song be played by Leonid Utyosov. This is a depiction from the otherwise sub-par tv series “Орлова и Александров“. *This song is written in an intermediary Russian-Ukrainian dialect, heavily using obscure criminal parlance, so I apologize if this not my best translation.
