9
00:00:51,630 --> 00:01:02,170
The polar night in that year
was particularly cold
and seemed endlessly long.

10
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:21,790
- Farewell, sister!
- Happy hunting!

11
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:26,270
- Farewell, sister!
- Happy hunting!

12
00:02:10,730 --> 00:02:12,580
I very nearly fell!

13
00:02:12,740 --> 00:02:14,580
Is that you?

14
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,200
[Sneezes]
No, not me.

15
00:02:19,710 --> 00:02:25,030
[Sings slowly:]
A-ah...

16
00:02:25,210 --> 00:02:27,010
Who's in there?

17
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,500
- A stove...!

18
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,620
- Let's knock?
- Oh, no!

19
00:02:34,730 --> 00:02:37,600
Come on... knock, knock.

20
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,740
Who's there?

21
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:57,600
Well, come in, come!

22
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,210
Oh, what a dummy you are!

23
00:03:11,330 --> 00:03:13,800
You think these are berries?

24
00:03:13,950 --> 00:03:18,410
These are beads. Berries
will come in the spring.

25
00:03:18,590 --> 00:03:23,040
In the spring?
And what is Spring?

26
00:03:23,290 --> 00:03:26,180
Phew, how young and naive you still are!

27
00:03:26,290 --> 00:03:30,390
Spring... first the red-chested
robin will fly in.

28
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,510
It will fly in and begin to sing.

29
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:35,140
From this bird song,
the icicle will thaw.

30
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,320
The icicle will wake the icy creek.
The creek will wake the river.

31
00:03:39,460 --> 00:03:45,830
The river will wake the sea.
Then the forest will become green!
Flowers will bloom!

32
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,600
Berries will ripen!

33
00:03:48,790 --> 00:03:51,760
Phew, it sounds like a fairy tale.

34
00:03:52,810 --> 00:03:57,570
No, this is not a fairy tale.
It's spring.

35
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,840
The reign of the polar night will end,

36
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,890
and it will get bright
and so, so warm!

37
00:04:04,990 --> 00:04:09,360
So, so warm! [Sneezes]

38
00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:45,130
Oh-oh-oh! Oh!
Our stove has gone out.

39
00:04:45,260 --> 00:04:49,230
We'll get it going again.
Let's go get some firewood!

40
00:04:57,740 --> 00:04:59,810
A robin!

41
00:05:00,190 --> 00:05:03,310
I saw a robin!

42
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,090
- Trouble, queen, there's trouble!
- Speak!

43
00:05:21,220 --> 00:05:26,300
A... a... a... bird is singing
its spring song!

44
00:05:26,450 --> 00:05:31,670
The ice is melting!
It's time to sail to the north!

45
00:05:31,820 --> 00:05:33,770
Just give the word!
- Be quiet!

46
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,670
Spring won't come again!

47
00:05:38,780 --> 00:05:41,310
There will be only me.

48
00:05:41,730 --> 00:05:44,170
Only the night.

49
00:05:44,750 --> 00:05:49,090
Night forever!

50
00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:24,660
Though the stream is chained by ice,
Though the snow still bends the branches,

51
00:06:24,770 --> 00:06:28,670
Now the robin's going to sing,
Once it sings, the woods will waken.

52
00:06:28,780 --> 00:06:32,680
The light blue bellflower will,
On its green and delicate stem,

53
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,710
Ring its bell

54
00:06:34,930 --> 00:06:37,750
As it wakes

55
00:06:37,970 --> 00:06:42,660
Spring has come
to visit us again!

56
00:06:42,770 --> 00:06:45,650
Ah-ah-ah-ah! Ah-ah-ah!

57
00:06:49,710 --> 00:06:52,630
Girl [sings]: Ah-ah-ah-ah! Ah-ah-ah!

58
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,520
Did it end?

59
00:08:00,470 --> 00:08:03,210
[Shivers] I think it's over.

60
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,770
And where's... the girl?

61
00:08:07,140 --> 00:08:10,610
[Sobs] She's not here.

62
00:08:10,970 --> 00:08:13,890
And neither is the robin.

63
00:08:14,430 --> 00:08:19,640
And it became so very cold again. [Sneezes]

64
00:08:28,020 --> 00:08:30,670
No trace of them.

65
00:08:30,780 --> 00:08:34,610
Look, a berry...

66
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,030
[Laughs] Dummy!

67
00:08:40,180 --> 00:08:44,940
That's a bead.
For berries it needs to be spring!

68
00:08:46,950 --> 00:08:52,660
This is her bead! Come on!
We'll find the girl!

69
00:09:27,980 --> 00:09:31,120
Fly away, little bird, fly away.

70
00:09:31,750 --> 00:09:36,600
But as for me... [sobs]
I'm stuck here.

71
00:09:55,770 --> 00:09:58,640
The last bead.

72
00:09:58,750 --> 00:10:01,730
Where do we go from here?

73
00:10:03,340 --> 00:10:07,760
Look, a bird... the robin!

74
00:10:09,330 --> 00:10:11,670
Cheep-cheep! Cheep-cheep!

75
00:10:12,070 --> 00:10:14,920
Robin, where is the girl?

76
00:10:16,780 --> 00:10:18,650
What? What is it saying?

77
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,350
The girl is there, beyond the snowy
mountain. Quick, let's go!

78
00:10:36,540 --> 00:10:38,350
Why are you here?

79
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:43,660
I... I came for the bird.
For the robin.

80
00:10:43,770 --> 00:10:48,000
It is no longer a robin.

81
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:53,330
It's just a piece of ice now. Look!

82
00:10:54,730 --> 00:10:57,150
Where is the bird?

83
00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:59,650
Here it is.

84
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:06,370
It will never again sing
its stupid song!

85
00:11:07,210 --> 00:11:14,880
Have you heard how the storm whistles,
and how the ice cracks?

86
00:11:20,420 --> 00:11:23,640
No! Your song is evil!

87
00:11:23,750 --> 00:11:26,560
I will sing the robin's song!

88
00:11:26,690 --> 00:11:31,230
Oh, you're a brave girl.

89
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,720
Go - sing the robin's song,

90
00:11:37,090 --> 00:11:41,890
that is, if you can find your
way back.

91
00:11:42,410 --> 00:11:51,850
Watch out! Do not fall!
The stairs begin there.

92
00:12:01,770 --> 00:12:04,250
Oh, who is that?

93
00:12:07,690 --> 00:12:09,690
Don't you faint, now. Look.

94
00:12:11,130 --> 00:12:15,760
Lock the gates!
Extinguish the stars!

95
00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:50,210
Do you hear? That's Old Woman Night.

96
00:13:50,490 --> 00:13:53,610
She is chasing us!

97
00:14:31,770 --> 00:14:33,660
The robin!

98
00:14:33,770 --> 00:14:39,170
Dummy! That is a hunter,
the brother of the girl.

99
00:14:39,300 --> 00:14:43,610
Let's call him.
He will wake the girl.

100
00:14:47,770 --> 00:14:51,650
E-easy to say "call him"!
But how?

101
00:14:52,010 --> 00:14:55,530
It's easy! Go talk to him.

102
00:14:55,730 --> 00:14:58,890
[Trembling] But he has a gun!

103
00:14:59,030 --> 00:15:01,160
Take away his gun!

104
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,130
- Right! Go on.
- I?

105
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,660
- You.
- Oh.

106
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,640
Sister!

107
00:15:51,060 --> 00:15:53,440
Wake the girl.

108
00:15:53,580 --> 00:15:57,490
I cannot wake her up.
I cannot.

109
00:15:57,750 --> 00:16:00,460
She's... frozen.

110
00:16:00,620 --> 00:16:03,370
What if you sing a song?

111
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:04,550
What song?

112
00:16:04,660 --> 00:16:09,630
A song that will make her
all warm inside.

113
00:16:09,740 --> 00:16:11,940
But I do not know such a song.

114
00:16:12,090 --> 00:16:15,650
And we... can't sing.

115
00:16:15,910 --> 00:16:18,470
It's you who can't sing!

116
00:16:18,550 --> 00:16:22,070
Then you sing, Bear! Try it!

117
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:27,310
- Ah... well...
- Sing, sing!

118
00:16:36,730 --> 00:16:44,490
Va-va-va-va-Vava ...

119
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,490
Vaa, vaaa.

120
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,650
The robin!
It knows how to sing this song!

121
00:17:31,740 --> 00:17:34,630
Sing your song, bird!

122
00:18:57,740 --> 00:19:00,680
"Wake up, forest, hurry up!
In the field, the snow has melted.

123
00:19:00,870 --> 00:19:04,850
The sun warms us all right up,
And a flock of birds has flown in.

124
00:19:04,980 --> 00:19:08,310
The woodpecker taps his beak,
A stream runs down from the hillside.

125
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,620
It murmurs
As it wakes:

126
00:19:11,730 --> 00:19:16,660
"Spring has come to visit us again!
Ah-ah-ah-ah!"

127
00:19:16,770 --> 00:19:19,670
Go away now, hoary Winter,
Blizzard furious,

128
00:19:19,780 --> 00:19:23,610
Your worst snowstorm can no longer
bury us!

129
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,630
Now the robin has arrived, hear,
and a song of joy it sings here,

130
00:19:26,740 --> 00:19:30,640
With that song Spring comes to us!

131
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,550
It becomes all bright and warm,
our ears are no longer chilled.

132
00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:47,440
The sun stands high in the sky -
Above the top of a fir tree.

133
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,220
Let us run, fast as we can,
Over the green, pleasant meadow.

134
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,610
All things sing
As they wake: -

135
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,690
Spring has come to visit us again!
Ah-ah-ah-ah!

136
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,630
Go away now, hoary Winter,
Blizzard furious,

137
00:20:03,740 --> 00:20:07,170
Your worst snowstorm can no longer
bury us!

138
00:20:07,590 --> 00:20:10,950
Now the robin has arrived, hear,
and a song of joy it sings here.

139
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:17,620
To us Spring, Spring, Spring now comes!

140
00:20:17,780 --> 00:20:22,120
Sings a song of joy

141
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,620
Spring, Spring!

142
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:35,790
