Song text (Russian):
Eduard Uspenskiy

2
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,200
There is a simple folk tale,

3
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,000
OR MAYBE not a folk tale,

4
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,000
OR MAYBE not so simple,

5
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,700
that we'd like you to hear

6
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:12,100
We know it from our childhood,

7
00:04:12,100 --> 00:04:14,900
or maybe from adulthood,

8
00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:17,900
or maybe we don't know it,

9
00:04:17,900 --> 00:04:21,900
but hope it will appear.

10
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:24,100
Begin!

11
00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:29,100
One time there was a crow,

12
00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:32,910
or possibly a dog,

13
00:04:34,010 --> 00:04:35,910
or possibly a cow,

14
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:39,410
who struck a lucky score.

15
00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:42,410
She found a piece of cheese;

16
00:04:43,810 --> 00:04:45,410
about 200 grams

17
00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:49,410
or possibly 300

18
00:04:50,510 --> 00:04:52,410
or maybe even more.

19
00:04:53,710 --> 00:04:55,410
She flew right up a pine,

20
00:04:56,810 --> 00:04:59,410
or maybe didn't fly

21
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,010
or maybe up a palm tree

22
00:05:03,220 --> 00:05:05,020
she ran right up from thence,

23
00:05:06,220 --> 00:05:08,020
and there for some good breakfasting,

24
00:05:08,020 --> 00:05:09,520
or maybe for some dinner,

25
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,220
or maybe even suppertime,

26
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,520
she quietly made her plans.

27
00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:14,520
And then?

28
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,520
But here a fox was running,

29
00:05:27,820 --> 00:05:29,520
or maybe wasn't running,

30
00:05:31,020 --> 00:05:33,520
or maybe a mad ostrich,

31
00:05:34,220 --> 00:05:36,520
or kind, we might presume.

32
00:05:37,330 --> 00:05:39,530
or possibly a sweeper!

33
00:05:40,530 --> 00:05:43,230
who traipsed along the countryside,

34
00:05:43,730 --> 00:05:46,230
to find the nearest hazel tree,

35
00:05:47,030 --> 00:05:49,230
and carve himself a broom!

36
00:06:09,030 --> 00:06:12,030
Oh listen my dear crow,

37
00:06:12,330 --> 00:06:15,030
unless you are a dog,

38
00:06:15,730 --> 00:06:18,930
or possibly a cow

39
00:06:18,930 --> 00:06:20,230
the finest cow of all,

40
00:06:22,230 --> 00:06:25,030
Your feathers are exquisite,

41
00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:28,230
your horns are really something,

42
00:06:28,540 --> 00:06:31,240
your hooves are nice and slim,

43
00:06:31,940 --> 00:06:33,240
and what a kindly soul!

44
00:06:35,140 --> 00:06:37,040
If ever you should sing,

45
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,240
or maybe if you woof

46
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,840
or maybe if you moo

47
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:46,240
(since cows moo a lot)

48
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,240
then you'll get a big saddle

49
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,940
a carpet and a TV,

50
00:06:49,940 --> 00:06:51,340
nice presents will be gotten

51
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,440
or maybe will be got.

52
00:07:01,550 --> 00:07:07,350
And so, the stupid crow,

53
00:07:08,150 --> 00:07:13,350
or possibly the dog,

54
00:07:13,850 --> 00:07:15,660
or possibly

55
00:07:15,660 --> 00:07:16,660
the hippo!

56
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:25,000
began to sing and crow...

57
00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:27,700
Cock-a-doodle-doo!

58
00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:32,800
So fell the crow's cheese,

59
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,500
or possibly the dog's,

60
00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:36,100
or possibly the cow's;

61
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,800
on this we are agreed

62
00:07:38,010 --> 00:07:39,810
and right atop the fox

63
00:07:40,110 --> 00:07:41,210
Stop throwing things!

64
00:07:41,450 --> 00:07:43,210
or possibly the ostrich

65
00:07:45,110 --> 00:07:46,810
or possibly the sweeper

66
00:07:48,710 --> 00:07:49,810
it fell with some great speed.

67
00:07:59,610 --> 00:08:01,910
The moral of this tale,

68
00:08:03,410 --> 00:08:06,310
which may not be a tale,

69
00:08:08,110 --> 00:08:11,610
not just a grown adult;

70
00:08:12,810 --> 00:08:16,310
a dwarf should understand:

71
00:08:17,310 --> 00:08:19,010
don't ever stand, don't jump around,

72
00:08:19,020 --> 00:08:20,820
don't sing or even try to dance

73
00:08:20,820 --> 00:08:22,520
in off-limits construction zones

74
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,720
where heavy things might land.

75
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:25,720
That's all!
