Straw Lark*
*A straw figure made at the start
& burned at the end of Maslenitsa*

3
00:00:09,450 --> 00:00:19,510
Maslenitsa - butter week, or pancake week
is an Orthodox festival of pagan origin, comparable
to Mardi Gras/Carnaval/the British Shrove Tuesday.

4
00:00:19,510 --> 00:00:29,210
Celebrated the 7th week before Orthodox Easter,
preceding the onset of the Great Lent
That week no meat, only butter, eggs & milk can be eaten.

5
00:00:29,210 --> 00:00:36,450
The straw figure symbolizes Winter. Maslenitsa is
a spring festival celebrating the nearing end of winter.

6
00:01:48,654 --> 00:01:50,146
Let's go for a ride!

7
00:01:54,780 --> 00:01:56,327
Come on, let's go!

8
00:02:18,153 --> 00:02:20,018
Oh my dear ones!

9
00:02:23,176 --> 00:02:24,645
Get ready!

10
00:02:25,496 --> 00:02:27,839
The puppet master's here!

11
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,800
[...]

12
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,920
[...]

13
00:03:01,257 --> 00:03:04,354
Whose yard is this?
It is simply the best.

14
00:03:04,642 --> 00:03:07,524
The best in 12 miles.

15
00:03:07,926 --> 00:03:10,855
There was a tree in this yard.

16
00:03:11,273 --> 00:03:14,131
Caesarenushka was sitting on that tree.

17
00:03:14,420 --> 00:03:16,999
Caesarenushka sits there laughing.

18
00:03:17,473 --> 00:03:20,298
And Ivanushka rides a horse.

19
00:03:20,727 --> 00:03:23,719
He wants to shoot an eagle.

20
00:03:24,171 --> 00:03:26,989
Don't shoot, don't shoot,
I can be of service.

21
00:03:26,990 --> 00:03:32,040
When you get married, I'll
stand at the gate and hold the horse.

22
00:03:32,210 --> 00:03:36,400
How in the pancake week
the flap-jacks fly from the oven.

23
00:03:36,672 --> 00:03:39,268
Ooh, pancakes, my pancakes, butter pancakes.

24
00:03:39,498 --> 00:03:42,252
Ooh, pancakes, my pancakes, butter pancakes.

25
00:03:42,647 --> 00:03:45,401
We ride down the hills,
and of pancakes eat our fill.

26
00:03:45,470 --> 00:03:48,320
Ooh, pancakes, my pancakes, butter pancakes.

27
00:03:48,330 --> 00:03:51,290
Ooh, pancakes, my pancakes, butter pancakes.

28
00:03:51,561 --> 00:03:54,267
We accompanied her,
And will not miss her.

29
00:03:54,474 --> 00:03:57,236
Good-bye, mockingbird lady.*
* AKA Straw lark

30
00:03:57,574 --> 00:04:00,368
Good-bye, mockingbird lady.

31
00:04:03,289 --> 00:04:04,734
Strike! Strike! Strike it down!

32
00:04:04,938 --> 00:04:07,760
You burn, burn, straw.
Away, winter, sink to the bottom.

33
00:04:07,761 --> 00:04:09,361
Send spring to us!

34
00:04:12,297 --> 00:04:15,249
Skylarks, come and join us.

35
00:04:15,544 --> 00:04:18,394
Bring spring on your tail.

36
00:04:18,634 --> 00:04:21,365
On the ard, the harrow, the rye furrow.

37
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,080
Love her; beat her.

38
00:04:28,104 --> 00:04:31,199
Spring-Red, what have you come on?

39
00:04:31,446 --> 00:04:34,098
On the beanpole, on the furrow,

40
00:04:34,481 --> 00:04:37,116
On the oat spikelet, on the wheat pastry.

41
00:04:40,180 --> 00:04:42,880
Take care of the spring,
take care, don't lose it.

42
00:04:43,305 --> 00:04:46,931
If you miss it, bad luck.
Winter will stay.

43
00:04:47,556 --> 00:04:50,281
Spring, spring,
with your golden keys,

44
00:04:50,510 --> 00:04:53,296
Lock up the fierce winter, spring!

45
00:04:53,555 --> 00:04:56,253
Unlock the warm summer!

46
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,179
Take care of the spring.
Don't lose it.

47
00:04:59,417 --> 00:05:02,115
If you miss it, bad luck.
Winter will stay.

48
00:05:02,610 --> 00:05:05,070
Save the spring. Save it.

49
00:05:08,110 --> 00:05:10,156
A frightful bird comes.

50
00:05:11,620 --> 00:05:14,633
Budding spring it will steal, steal, steal

51
00:05:14,807 --> 00:05:17,013
away into his cold kingdom.

52
00:05:18,197 --> 00:05:21,205
Save the spring. Save it.

53
00:05:21,527 --> 00:05:24,535
If you miss it, bad luck.
Winter will stay.

54
00:05:40,428 --> 00:05:43,380
Save Spring. Save it.

55
00:05:43,927 --> 00:05:46,922
Lost the spring, didn't save it!

56
00:05:56,348 --> 00:05:58,094
You didn't save it!

57
00:06:15,226 --> 00:06:16,671
Didn't save it.

58
00:06:17,004 --> 00:06:19,044
Return, return spring!

59
00:06:19,327 --> 00:06:20,811
Return!

60
00:06:38,698 --> 00:06:42,373
Come save spring,

61
00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:47,282
Drive out the bird.

62
00:06:47,509 --> 00:06:51,525
Don't be shy, light it

63
00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:56,237
light the day.

64
00:06:56,634 --> 00:07:00,983
I'll burn up in the fire

65
00:07:01,380 --> 00:07:05,460
I'll give you a friend.

66
00:07:05,926 --> 00:07:10,109
Come save spring,

67
00:07:10,847 --> 00:07:16,164
Drive the bird out.

68
00:07:17,030 --> 00:07:19,650
Will you free spring from its captivity?

69
00:07:19,910 --> 00:07:22,660
Will you beat the frightful bird?

70
00:07:23,556 --> 00:07:25,056
Will you not be afraid of it?

71
00:07:27,013 --> 00:07:31,386
Don't be shy, light it.

72
00:07:31,556 --> 00:07:35,683
Burn me down.

73
00:07:35,996 --> 00:07:39,766
I'll burn up in the fire.

74
00:07:40,161 --> 00:07:44,098
I'll give you a friend.

75
00:07:44,592 --> 00:07:48,378
You will follow him.

76
00:07:48,690 --> 00:07:53,090
Don't look back at me.

77
00:07:53,550 --> 00:07:56,940
Keep moving, keep moving

78
00:07:57,210 --> 00:08:03,740
don't turn around.

79
00:08:49,919 --> 00:08:51,776
Get lost!

80
00:08:53,146 --> 00:08:54,916
Get lost!

81
00:09:02,790 --> 00:09:07,110
Oh! What a green forest!

82
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,280
Hither and thither...

83
00:09:25,141 --> 00:09:29,990
I'll separate you!

84
00:09:32,055 --> 00:09:35,691
I'll separate you!

85
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,977
I'll separate you!

86
00:09:43,470 --> 00:09:47,651
I'll separate you!

87
00:09:54,967 --> 00:09:58,575
Wander about!

88
00:09:58,663 --> 00:10:01,706
Don't go on!

89
00:10:01,786 --> 00:10:04,658
Wander about!

90
00:10:18,547 --> 00:10:24,532
No, I won't return.
I must rescue Spring!

91
00:10:38,537 --> 00:10:40,365
Talcan the Warrior!

92
00:10:40,453 --> 00:10:45,683
O, I'll ride onto the open field!

93
00:10:45,710 --> 00:10:49,970
O, I'll ride to sight my enemies.

94
00:10:50,010 --> 00:10:54,790
I'll sight my enemies,
and trample them with my horse.

95
00:10:54,791 --> 00:10:59,591
With my sword I'll hit them,
and with my spear I'll spear them.

96
00:11:04,010 --> 00:11:05,310
Your spear.

97
00:11:06,472 --> 00:11:09,669
Hold on, Talcan, I got it.

98
00:11:11,891 --> 00:11:13,264
Ugh!

99
00:11:23,768 --> 00:11:25,514
Where are they?

100
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,100
Would you look at that!

101
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:32,736
Aw!

102
00:11:54,098 --> 00:11:58,066
Wow! Thank you so much!

103
00:12:12,695 --> 00:12:15,854
You'll go after him.

104
00:12:16,171 --> 00:12:20,107
Don't look back at me.

105
00:12:20,663 --> 00:12:23,821
Keep moving, keep moving

106
00:12:24,138 --> 00:12:28,979
don't turn around.

107
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,652
Turn around.

108
00:12:35,763 --> 00:12:39,684
Make a mistake.

109
00:12:52,615 --> 00:12:56,433
You're bad, you were fooled!

110
00:12:56,562 --> 00:13:00,342
Die!

111
00:13:34,237 --> 00:13:37,340
Turn tail!

112
00:13:37,993 --> 00:13:41,596
Return!

113
00:13:42,415 --> 00:13:46,169
Don't go on!

114
00:13:47,189 --> 00:13:50,292
Turn tail!

115
00:13:50,733 --> 00:13:51,813
Return!

116
00:13:51,821 --> 00:13:53,361
Take this!

117
00:13:58,692 --> 00:14:02,326
Don't go on!

118
00:14:02,995 --> 00:14:04,590
Take that!

119
00:14:10,571 --> 00:14:13,254
Return the spring

120
00:14:13,723 --> 00:14:16,215
you evil bird.

121
00:14:16,578 --> 00:14:19,554
You've won.

122
00:14:19,835 --> 00:14:22,732
Go and take spring.

123
00:14:38,974 --> 00:14:42,391
Skylarks, fly to us

124
00:14:42,433 --> 00:14:46,898
fly to us.

125
00:14:56,006 --> 00:14:58,915
Grow,

126
00:14:58,980 --> 00:15:04,137
grow, grow up

127
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:12,435
green forest.

128
00:15:15,210 --> 00:15:20,853
Green forest.

129
00:15:21,399 --> 00:15:25,911
Green forest.

130
00:15:36,044 --> 00:15:38,437
Well, aren't you a brave one!

131
00:15:38,819 --> 00:15:41,065
Here, take your spring!

132
00:15:42,311 --> 00:15:45,335
Oh, during butter-week
pancakes flew from the oven!

133
00:15:45,336 --> 00:15:46,976
Oh my pancakes,
my buttery pancakes!

134
00:15:47,012 --> 00:15:49,073
I brought the spring!

135
00:15:52,049 --> 00:15:54,272
I brought the spring!

136
00:15:56,949 --> 00:15:58,853
I got the spring back!

137
00:15:59,370 --> 00:16:02,195
You burn, burn, straw.
Away, winter, sink to the bottom.

138
00:16:02,236 --> 00:16:03,956
Send spring here!

139
00:16:10,333 --> 00:16:13,222
Skylarks, fly and join us.

140
00:16:13,341 --> 00:16:16,216
Bring spring on your tail.

141
00:16:16,403 --> 00:16:19,436
On the ard, the harrow, the rye furrow.

142
00:16:32,177 --> 00:16:34,836
Here, look at this:

143
00:16:35,855 --> 00:16:37,339
I've brought back spring!

144
00:16:38,999 --> 00:16:40,420
Good for you!
