Иванушка-рачек [Ivanushka Ratshek] [English translation]

Ivanushka - the dear Crayfish

along the river bank, was crawling.

To catch some fish

For Ul'jynushka's smile rejoicing

Ul'jyanushka with her lucky heart

Eats the peppered crayfish part.

In the barn the farm -lord stands,

bawls at his men:

"I'll beat you to the death"

Three wooden plow

ploughed up meadow.

The fourth one was a Harrow

Mother sold it for a price low,

A hoe, a shovel,

And a fluffy fowl.

A fluffy hen

sits on a perch,

counts eggs herself.

"One, two, three, four...

"Where are the more?

I can not read, I can not write.

Only dolls can lullaby.

My doll.

I have her all disemboweled,

The heavy my Mom's hand made me rewarded...

.

Dad, dad sits on a hog

Balalaika - on a wall.

Balalaika has fell down

The hog's back has bent round.

All the hens away were flown

And my father's his wide back

Has been hacked

with Mummy's hand.

For next time him not to ride.

After drinking much the vine.
