Under the directon of Roman Gurov
Producer N. Bitman

11
00:00:58,271 --> 00:01:01,633
Once, strong bogatyrs used to live

12
00:01:01,753 --> 00:01:05,139
at the borderlands of the Russian state;

13
00:01:05,488 --> 00:01:09,252
they lived for almost 100 years

14
00:01:09,372 --> 00:01:13,445
and there were 30 of them, including our hero.

15
00:01:13,849 --> 00:01:17,063
In those days the border was well guarded.

16
00:01:17,338 --> 00:01:21,415
None would pass them by,
neither on horse, nor on foot,

17
00:01:21,708 --> 00:01:25,670
neither outward bound
nor inward bound.

18
00:01:25,924 --> 00:01:29,421
No gray wolf roamed the land,

19
00:01:29,541 --> 00:01:33,531
and no sharp-eyed falcon flew the skies.

20
00:01:35,065 --> 00:01:44,492
DOBRYNYA NIKITICH

21
00:01:48,945 --> 00:01:53,294
Dobrynya was born to a mother

22
00:01:53,863 --> 00:01:58,316
that raised him till he was of full age.

23
00:01:58,699 --> 00:02:03,482
The young Dobrynyushka Nikitinich

24
00:02:03,602 --> 00:02:05,826
began to often ride his good horse

25
00:02:05,946 --> 00:02:09,774
through the open field.

26
00:03:22,340 --> 00:03:25,286
His mother instructed Dobrynyushka:

27
00:03:25,737 --> 00:03:28,951
here's a Shamakhan whip for you,

28
00:03:29,071 --> 00:03:32,742
it's woven of 7 cords braided with 7 threads.

29
00:03:32,977 --> 00:03:36,122
If your horse Burka will not jump,

30
00:03:36,432 --> 00:03:39,370
whip your Burka and say:

31
00:03:39,614 --> 00:03:43,062
"Burushka, leap forward,

32
00:03:43,182 --> 00:03:47,409
shake off the enemy force 
that holds you down!"

33
00:04:58,884 --> 00:05:03,561
It's no rain that rains,
It's no thunder that thunders,

34
00:05:04,492 --> 00:05:09,099
It's no thunder that thunders, -
But a great noise that comes.

35
00:05:09,911 --> 00:05:14,153
Zmey Gorynych, the Dragon, flew in,

36
00:05:14,273 --> 00:05:19,174
with three heads and 12 limbs,

37
00:05:19,294 --> 00:05:22,139
and he carried off into captivity

38
00:05:22,259 --> 00:05:25,287
the Christian people.

39
00:08:07,303 --> 00:08:11,204
Then spake Dobrynyushka Nikitinich:

40
00:08:11,573 --> 00:08:14,990
"Aye, you cursed snake,

41
00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:20,043
What, oh Snake, have you done?!"

42
00:08:58,076 --> 00:09:01,214
Dobrynyushka's mother had instructed him,

43
00:09:01,667 --> 00:09:04,521
Dobrynyushka's mother had said to him:

44
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,800
"Do not ride off into the far field,

45
00:09:07,820 --> 00:09:11,460
Do not visit the alien
Saracen mountain,

46
00:09:11,472 --> 00:09:16,065
Do not bathe, Dobrynya, in the
fiery Puchai river between
this world and the next."

47
00:10:41,396 --> 00:10:44,128
And Dobrynya heard the voices

48
00:10:44,248 --> 00:10:46,813
of the captive Russians:

49
00:10:47,502 --> 00:10:52,093
"Where have you disappeared to,
you mighty bogatyrs?

50
00:10:52,595 --> 00:10:56,470
Do not you hear our voices?

51
00:10:56,750 --> 00:11:00,918
It is hard for us in
these dragon caves,

52
00:11:01,199 --> 00:11:04,064
We probably will not see the sun again

53
00:11:04,184 --> 00:11:06,488
until the end of our lives."

54
00:13:36,896 --> 00:13:40,411
Dobrynya spoke the following words:

55
00:13:40,913 --> 00:13:44,540
"Oh, you captive Russians,

56
00:13:45,064 --> 00:13:48,741
come out of the serpent's lair,

57
00:13:49,048 --> 00:13:52,747
return to your own lands -

58
00:13:53,003 --> 00:13:55,658
he will not touch you any more,

59
00:13:55,778 --> 00:13:58,521
that cursed snake!"

60
00:14:46,450 --> 00:14:51,270
For these deeds the hero
Dobrynya Nikitich

61
00:14:51,390 --> 00:14:56,251
is honored with glory
and with song.

62
00:14:56,717 --> 00:15:00,697
May the blue sea
find comfort in it!

63
00:15:01,236 --> 00:15:04,178
And may all you kind people

64
00:15:04,501 --> 00:15:06,704
hear of it!

65
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:16,600
