Soyuzmultfilm

2
00:00:13,770 --> 00:00:18,900
We are separated from each other, oh,
it's so difficult to live through this.

3
00:00:19,220 --> 00:00:24,160
Please, write me letters, Vanya,
please don't forget...

00:00:24,260 --> 00:00:28,610

10
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,470
The mailman hurries through the world,
happy to make a stop at each house.

11
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,080
If letters do not arrive for a long time,
that is not the mailman's fault.

12
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,220
The road winds along the ground,
heading straight through rain and snow

13
00:01:35,340 --> 00:01:40,200
One who waits will always, eventually,
get their long awaited letter.

14
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,720
- Oi, Valentina, there goes uncle Simyon!

15
00:01:48,140 --> 00:01:52,660
The mailman hurries through the country,
much honoured everywhere.

16
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,420
In the first house they expect the newspaper,
in the third one - letters.

17
00:01:57,450 --> 00:02:02,080
The road winds along the ground,
heading straight through rain and snow

18
00:02:02,180 --> 00:02:07,080
One who waits will always, eventually,
get their long awaited letter.

19
00:02:13,340 --> 00:02:15,990
- Again he has passed our house...

20
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,040
- Valentina, maybe uncle Simyon doesn't
know that you are waiting for a letter?

21
00:02:20,380 --> 00:02:23,580
- Maybe he does not know, little sister.

22
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,440
- Uncle Simyon! Uncle Simyon!

23
00:02:32,910 --> 00:02:37,120
Uncle Simon! Why don't you
write our Valya any letters?

24
00:02:38,940 --> 00:02:42,040
- But I do not write anyone letters.

25
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,430
I only deliver them.

26
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,570
- Oh...

27
00:02:46,770 --> 00:02:49,860
And I thought you wrote
all the letters yourself!

28
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,600
That you write them at night,
and deliver them in the morning.

29
00:02:57,210 --> 00:03:00,290
- That's my helper.

30
00:03:00,420 --> 00:03:01,640
- A pidgeon?

31
00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:03,750
- A mail pidgeon.

32
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:08,620
- Haha! And he even knows
the number of each house?

33
00:03:09,540 --> 00:03:14,540
- The pidgeon knows where to deliver a
letter, without knowing the house number.

34
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,880
He understands me.

35
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,200
- But he does not understand me.

36
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,050
Uncle Simyon!

37
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:41,370
Teach me to whistle with my fingers.
So that he would understand me.

38
00:03:41,420 --> 00:03:46,840
Valya's waiting for a letter so desperately.
And you still haven't brought one...

39
00:03:47,180 --> 00:03:51,400
To get letters,
you have to write them yourself.

40
00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:09,440
Valentina! I know!
I know what to do.

41
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:15,180
It seems that to get letters, you have
to write them yourself. Here, write!

42
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,480
But I do not have an address.

43
00:04:17,540 --> 00:04:22,920
- You don't need an address.
Comrade uncle Simyon has a mail pidgeon.

44
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,280
He can deliver without an address,
even without a house number.

45
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,630
- But the address is a submarine...

46
00:04:31,900 --> 00:04:34,310
A pidgeon cannot get there.

47
00:04:38,580 --> 00:04:41,330
How about a duck? Can a duck get there?

48
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,680
- A duck also cannot get there.

49
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:09,320
- Look at that ...

50
00:05:10,620 --> 00:05:12,660
Uncle Simyon!

51
00:05:13,420 --> 00:05:15,100
- What now?

52
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,100
- Uncle Simyon. Do you have
a fish that helps you?

53
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,560
- What do you mean, a fish?

54
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:27,360
- A mail fish, that could carry a
letter deep down under the water.

55
00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:30,040
- To the carps and pikes?

56
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:33,480
- No, to the sailors. The submariners!

57
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,830
- Are you serious?

58
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,680
I have descended into myself
as deep as the river [???]

59
00:06:16,740 --> 00:06:22,320
How much it pains the heart if
you don't receive a letter for so long!

60
00:06:23,460 --> 00:06:29,260
Valya! Come on! Come on. Come on!

61
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,480
- Look.

62
00:06:37,530 --> 00:06:39,360
- So what?

63
00:06:39,550 --> 00:06:42,750
- What do you mean, so what?
This is now a mail fish!

64
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,800
- Hurry and write your letter to the
sailor, and she will deliver it.

65
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:39,300
Hey, you're not just any fish, but a
mail fish. Off you swim, then.

66
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,620
The sailor does not fear a snow storm.
Any storm is easier to bear

67
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,460
If his girl is waiting for him
on a far and distant shore.

68
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,400
The pennant winds above the waves,
easily conveying martial strength.

69
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:20,360
One who's waiting for a sailor
will not ever wait in vain!

70
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,520
Oi! Valentina!

71
00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:59,920
