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!

With Nanny
Language:
English
Come and tell me, Nanny dear,
That old tale you know so well,
About the wolf, that dreadful, wicked wolf.
How he used to roam around the house,
How he carried children to the wood
And devoured them not leaving a single bone
And the children used to weep and cry for help...
Nanny dear!
Was the reason he ate them every bit,
Because they would not do what their nannies told them,
Disobeying both their parents, too,
So he ate those children, Nanny dear?
Wait a moment!
I would rather hear about the King and Queen,
Who lived beside the sea in a lovely palace.
He was lame and hobbled as he walked,
Wherever he stumbled, up sprang a mushroom!
The Queen had such a nasty cold,
That when she sneezed all the window panes cracked!
Yes, oh Nanny dear,
I don't want to hear about the wolf again,
Let us leave him!
Let me hear the other, yes! that funny tale!
