I've been working on this video for a long time, and I've finally finished it today.
Meet "Treasure Island Edit — Chance"
This is a series of Mirror Mirror with the song "Chance" from the Russian cartoon "Treasure Island"
I come here with two types of translation into English: creative (with reference to the source) and literal (with the help of a translator)

Шанс!
Он не получка не аванс,
он выпадает только раз,
Фортуна в дверь стучит, а Вас
ДОМА НЕТ!
Chance!
It's neither wages, nor advance,
To you it's given only once,
Inside your home Luck gives a glance
But / you're not in! :(
Шанс!
Его так просто упустить,
но легче локоть укусить,
Чем новый шанс заполучить:
Chance!
It may so easily be missed,
One's elbow rather can be kissed
Than there a new chance can be seized
///
Шанс!
И вот, когда вы в двух шагах,
от груды сказочных богатств,
Он говорит вам: "Хе-хе-хе-хе, Бог подаст",
- хитрый шанс.
Chance!
And when you're just two steps away
From piles of riches, so to say,
The chance sighs out, / "Not today"
(God damned chance!)
Шанс!
Он подбирал вам экипаж,
он с Вами шел на абордаж,
И от осечки он берег / ваш мушкет.
Chance!
It helped to man your ship a lot,
It led you when you fell aboard,
And just in time to use your sword.
///
Шанс!
Один лишь раз осечку дав,
теперь вы кролик, он - удав,
А у удава мрачный нрав.
Chance!
Just once you failed, you missed your aim,
Now it's the hunter, you're the game,
This cruel chaser has no name,
(and no mercy)
Шанс!
И вот, когда вы в двух шагах,
от груды сказочных богатств,
Он говорит вам: "Хе-хе-хе, Бог подаст",
- хитрый шанс.
Chance!
And when you're just two steps away
From piles of riches, so to say,
The chance sighs out, / "Not today"
(God damned chance!)
Шанс!
Он нажимал на ваш курок,
он набивал ваш кошелек,
И от осечки он берег ваш мушкет.
Chance!
It timely had you make a shot,
With food it used to fill your pot,
It helped in topping up your hoard,
///
Шанс!
И вот, когда вы в двух шагах,
от груды сказочных богатств,
Он говорит вам: "Бог подаст".
Chance!
And when you're just two steps away
From piles of riches, so to say,
The chance sighs out, / "Not today"
(God damned chance!)
It's not a payday, it's not an advance,
Fortune is knocking on the door, but you are not at home!
But it's easier to bite the elbow.,
Than a new chance to get.
Chorus:
And they bring a black mark, a black mark
The black mark is a damn mark!
And that's when you're two steps away
From a pile of fabulous wealth,
He says to you, "God will give it to you!"
Second verse (Female voice):
He was picking out a carriage for you.,
And he was saving your musket from a misfire…
Now you're a rabbit, he's a boa constrictor.,
And the boa constrictor has a gloomy disposition!

Chorus.
The third verse (Main line-up):
Chance!
He was stuffing your wallet,
And he was saving your musket from a misfire.
And that's when you're two steps away
From a pile of fabulous wealth,
He says to you, "God will give it to you!"
