How to translate? (ru-en)

“Добудь я и негра при клоуне годов, Автобус унынья и лени, Яру скобу выучил Толька зато, Что им разговаривал Ленин..." (who can give me a literal translation of this please?! leaving aside Mayakovsky's original version and despite all the errors...:) it's an excerpt from Hamid Ismailov's novel)

    If I got a negro before a clown of years, a bus of depression and laziness, yaru skobu (it has no sense) would learn only because Lenin spoke it

    Translator's comment

    I absolutely cannot understand why would you need a literal translation of it and asking us to do this

Listen, It's actually unclear. But I'm gonna tryna translate it.

Thanks for the efforts. Because to understand the paragraph that follows would actually require some understanding of this corrupted version.

It's like a chile heard this poem and learned, not knowing the meaning of the phrases. In his head the ending of one word was combined with the beginning of the next word.

В тексте ошибки, оригинал такой:
Да будь я
и негром преклонных годов
и то,
без унынья и лени,
я русский бы выучил
только за то,
что им
разговаривал Ленин.
