S njanej

Language: Russian

Rasskazhi mne, njanjushka,
Rasskazhi mne, milaja,
Pro togo pro buku strashnogo:
Kak tot buka po lesam brodil,
Kak tot buka v les detej nosil
I kak gryz on ikh belyje kostochki,
I kak deti te krichali, plakali!
Njanjushka!
Ved' zato ikh, detej-to, buka s"el,
Chto obideli njanju staruju,
Papu s mamoj ne poslushali.
Ved' zato on s"el ikh, njanjushka?

Ili vot chto:
Rasskazhi mne luchshe pro carja s caricej,
Chto za morem zhili v teremu bogatom.
Jeshchjo car' vsjo na nogu khromal,
Kak spotknjotsja, tak grib vyrastet,
U caricy to vsjo nasmork byl,
Kak chikhnjot, stekla v drebezgi!
Znajesh', njanjushka:
Ty pro buku to uzh ne rasskazyvaj!
Bog s nim, s bukoj!
Rasskazhi mne, njanja, ty, smeshnuju-to!
