THE SOUND OF THE
ROOSTER CALLING FOR SUNLIGHT
- Subtitles by Duy Kiền -

3
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:47,000
An old story told that:

4
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:52,000
There were once twelve Sun Gods
who poured fire down upon human.

5
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:56,500
They threw fire buckets down to Earth,

6
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,500
causing people to get burns,

7
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,500
the clothes to catch fire,
the trees into charcoal,

8
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
the animals to hide in caves.

9
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:12,000
An old story told that:

10
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
There were twelve Sun Gods

11
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,500
Who circled the sky every day

12
00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:24,000
Poured fire down upon Earth.

13
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:28,000
The cities to be destroyed
And the villages in tears,

14
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:31,000
Even the rivers to dry up.

15
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Fire burned everywhere,
Causing chaos to spread,

16
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,500
Suffering to come to everyone.

17
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
There was lived a boy
who was talented at crossbow.

18
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:19,500
He was compassionate to
his old mother and miserable villagers.

19
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,500
He decided to leave to
confront the Suns' disaster.

20
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,500
He said goodbye to everyone and set off,

21
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,500
with a determination to
shoot the Suns like Hậu Nghệ.

22
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:37,500
There was a boy
Who was talented at crossbow,

23
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000
That every arrow finds its target.

24
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:44,500
Because of his love for mother and villagers,

25
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
He was determined to confront Suns' fire.

26
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:53,000
He said goodbye to everyone,

27
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Before leaving to shoot the Suns.

28
00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:00,000
With the wings his mother had given him,

29
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:03,500
He flew up towards the Suns in the sky.

30
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Only one Sun remained,

31
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,500
But he was scared and hid.

32
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,500
No one knows where he is hiding.

33
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:48,000
Since then, the people have had to
live in darkness and desolation,

34
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,500
with only a few lights.

35
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,500
What should we do, Crossbow Boy?

36
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:58,000
The boy immediately stood up,
then raised his crossbow and arrows.

37
00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:00,000
His eyes were fixed forward,

38
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:02,500
as if he wanted to say that:

39
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,500
I must find the Sun,
no matter how difficult it may be.

40
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,500
Crossbow Boy, let us follow you!

41
00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:15,000
He heard the commotion
and turned around, then saw:

42
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:18,500
Beard, Elephant, Eagle, Red Horse,

43
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,500
even a young Rooster.

44
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:23,500
Due to hardship,

45
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Eagle returned to the mountaintop.

46
00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:29,000
Elephant and Bear returned to
the deep forest.

47
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,500
Only the exhausted Horse
and the Rooster remained.

48
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
All the boy could do was sigh:

49
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:38,500
Oh God, what should I do?

50
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
His cry echoed through the clouds.

51
00:04:41,500 --> 00:04:44,000
Suddenly, from the dazzling light,

52
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:46,000
Fairy Elder appeared.

53
00:04:47,500 --> 00:04:50,500
Despite all hardships,
if keep going, you'll get there.

54
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,500
Go high and crow loudly!

55
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Rooster will call the Sun to come out.

56
00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:11,500
With no light, everything was dark,

57
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
No torch can replace the solar halo.

58
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,000
As darkness falls,
Life becomes miserable,

59
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000
We must find light for Earth.

60
00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:28,500
Despite the long distance,
We will overcome it.

61
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:32,500
Despite the vast jungle,
We will overcome it.

62
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:36,000
Wherever he hides,
We must find him.

63
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,500
Let the Sun shine on everyone again!

64
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Let the Sun bring happiness to everyone!

65
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,500
Where are you?
Come out here!

66
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,500
It's still dark!
Let be happy!

67
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,500
The Sun will shine everything.

68
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:47,000
Flowers will bloom,
Life is full of laughter.

69
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:50,500
The Sun will rejoice,

70
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,500
All suffering will pass,
Leaving life with light.

This is a simplified Chinese translation of the story.

2. Cynir 2025-12-24 15:55:16

I've long known that many Russians have tried to find information about the Vietnamese version of Well, Just You Wait!. Yes, it is indeed an imitation. However, in this version, all the characters have their own dialogue and fates.

In the early 1990s, Vietnamese society was undergoing economic recovery and also beginning urbanization, something previously considered forbid. Vietnamese animators designed two characters representing what was typical at the time : The Wolf embodying all the vices of a conservative and unmotivated society, while the Hare is merely a weak reaction of the new generation within a still troubled system. The series has only one character at the top, the Crow, who enjoys philosophy. This is essentially the fate of the intellectual class, those who are intelligent but powerless. In the 1990s, this series was often shown for free on the national television to promote reform, but it later lay dormant in archives. It wasn't until 2016 that government funding allowed the series to be made available online.

I am sorry! I have updated it again. In reality, there are two versions of the video on social media. The version provided by the film studio omitted the ending theme song and replaced it with a modern piece, which detracts from the film's spirit. My video was originally uploaded to Facebook 10 years ago, and it was taken from a film studio's website.

You know, that's the general situation in Vietnamese cinema. For many reasons, film scores or dialogue often disappear, so the videos are usually very bad. That is the reason for the low popularity of Vietnamese cinema and television.

> I suddenly remembered The Gnomes and the Mountain King (Гномы и горный король)
Thanks for the recommendation, I hadn't seen that one yet. Unfortunately, I don't see any existing subtitles for it anywhere (in any language).
Adding obscure things to Wikipedia is tricky and often more trouble than it's worth. The only surefire way is to pore over their notability guidelines and find some unimpeachable source (especially a book or academic article). E.g. a film festival for a particular year I had added once was on the verge of being deleted until I found a mention of it in a scholarly book as being "one of the biggest cultural events" that year in the region (there was no online mention of it, because that part of the world was not very online at the time). Only then did the critics back off.

it happened that:

still lingers to this day.

Novice Monks!

15

00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:51,500

I accidentally broke that stem.

16

00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:56,000

Then you have to pay for it.

17

00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,500

Have you ever heard this saying:

18

00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,000

Even though paying Buddha ten times,

he just smiled and refused to accept it.

19

00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,500

What will you pay us?

20

00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,500

Novice Monks!

21

00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000

I have nothing to pay.

22

00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,000

We'll have to keep you here

until someone bails you out.

23

00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000

Sir, the pagoda is a merciful place.

24

00:04:24,500 --> 00:04:27,500

Why can you keep me

for a small mistake?

25

00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000

For the love of Buddha, forgive me!

26

00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,500

It can't be!

27

00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000

Novice Monks!

28

00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,000

Why would you tease a flower

in the Buddhist sanctuary?

29

00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,500

Young master, we really

didn't mean to tease her.

30

00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000

Why did you want to keep a maiden?

31

00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,500

She broke a flower stem

but she refused to pay it.

32

00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,500

How do you want her to pay?

33

00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,500

Sir, it has to be anything,

34

00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,500

because the pagoda is a fair place.

35

00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000

I'll give you a brocade tunic.

36

00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000

Release her immediately!

37

00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,500

Glory to Buddha Amitabha!

38

00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000

Forgive us, young master!

39

00:05:44,500 --> 00:05:49,000

We were monks, but our hearts

were still not free from life dust.

40

00:05:56,500 --> 00:05:59,500

Young master, who are you?

41

00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000

You have such a kind heart.

42

00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:06,500

Tell me your name!

I want to repay you.

43

00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:11,500

I am Từ Thức (awakening).

44

00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:16,500

Don't rush, please!

I am very grateful to you.

45

00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,500

When can I meet you again

to repay your kindness?

46

00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000

Never mind, lady!

47

00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:29,500

Where did you come from...

48

00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:32,500

...to encounter such misfortune?

49

00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:57,500

Now cross Thần Phù Estuary

to reach the other side of sea,

50

00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,500

where there is a mountain

shaped like nine dragons.

51

00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000

I will answer you there.

52

00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000

Go ahead, Sir!

Don't be afraid!

53

00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,000

Now cross Thần Phù Estuary

to reach the other side of sea,

54

00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:49,500

where there is a mountain

shaped like nine dragons.

55

00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000

I will answer you there.

56

00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000

We bow in greeting, my lord!

57

00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:38,000

You have brought here

the warmth of the earthly world.

58

00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000

But where is this?

59

00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000

And who are you two?

60

00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:49,000

M'lord, this is a fairy word.

61

00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:53,000

We are servants of Fairy Queen.

62

00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:55,000

She's waiting for you, Sir.

63

00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,500

Welcome to young master!

64

00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,000

I am Giáng Hương (perfume),

who you saved at Peony Festival.

65

00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:08,000

Do you remember me, Sir?

66

00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,000

I do.

67

00:10:15,500 --> 00:10:18,000

But why are you here?

68

00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:20,000

Where is this place?

69

00:10:20,500 --> 00:10:22,500

A fairy world just for you.

70

00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,000

Thank you for bringing here

the warmth of earthly world,

71

00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:30,500

and the tolerance of gentleman!

72

00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,000

Thank you for bringing me

the beauty of the fairyland!

73

00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000

Did this fairy mountain satisfy you?

74

00:12:56,500 --> 00:13:00,000

You have given me the honor

of visiting the fairy mountain.

75

00:13:00,500 --> 00:13:03,000

But I just...

76

00:13:03,500 --> 00:13:06,500

Is there anything else that worries you?

77

00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,500

I believe you did everything for me,

78

00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:15,000

while I was unable to reciprocate yet.

79

00:13:15,500 --> 00:13:17,500

Because I remember the earthly world.

80

00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:39,000

♪ O you who are enjoying yourself in the fairy mountain!

81

00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:46,500

♪ Do you remember the peaceful life in the earthly world?

82

00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,000

♪ O two boats drifting aimlessly!

83

00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,500

♪ If it's crowed there, come here!

84

00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,000

♪ My bed mat and net are ready here,

85

00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:29,000

♪ Come, my arm is as a pillow for you.

86

00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,500

Indeed for him,

87

00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,000

there's no place like the earthly world.

88

00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:11,000

Did I bring him unhappiness,

89

00:15:11,500 --> 00:15:14,000

yet I mistook it for happiness?

90

00:15:15,500 --> 00:15:16,500

Từ Thức!

91

00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:19,000

I understood your feelings.

92

00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:21,500

I don't want my own happiness...

93

00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:24,500

... to make the fairyland gloomy.

94

00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:28,000

I leave the decision to you.

95

00:15:31,500 --> 00:15:34,500

You brought me happiness

in the fairy mountain,

96

00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:38,500

but I couldn't control myself:

97

00:15:39,500 --> 00:15:43,000

I still yearn for the earthly world.

98

00:15:45,500 --> 00:15:47,000

It is my letter.

99

00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,500

You should only open it,

100

00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000

when you don't want to return here.

101

00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,500

This is a peach of longevity,

102

00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:01,000

what to help you in times of trouble.

103

00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:07,500

Thanh you, darling!

104

00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,000

Elder!

105

00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,500

Do you know of a family

that used to live here?

106

00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,500

Where have they gone?

107

00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,000

Oh!

108

00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:16,500

How can I remember?

109

00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,000

A long time has passed.

110

00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,000

Now I am 130 years old,

111

00:17:26,500 --> 00:17:29,000

and the oldest person in this village,

112

00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:33,500

but I know nothing about them.

113

00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,000

Hey!

114

00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,500

Young man!

115

00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:45,500

Don't be disappointed!

116

00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:49,000

I remember now.

117

00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,500

When I was a boy,

118

00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,500

the elderly said that:

119

00:17:57,500 --> 00:18:03,000

This is a family with a son named Từ Thức,

120

00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:09,000

whom went to Peony Festival one day

and then disappeared in the fairyland.

121

00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:11,500

Sir!

122

00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000

I am Từ Thức.

123

00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:31,000

♪ O you, who is going downstream,

124

00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:42,000

♪ Let me send a message to him that:

125

00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:58,000

♪ If he gets on a boat to go out to sea,

126

00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,500

♪ I'll row it no matter how hard it is.

127

00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,000

Farewell, darling!

128

00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:18,000

I wish you find happiness

in your earthly world soon.

129

00:19:32,500 --> 00:19:35,999

Nice comment, Cynir, though that's the first time I've seen Gogol's name spelled Hohol. :) I don't think that's really being done in English yet (not even on Wikipedia). Maybe because he never wrote in Ukrainian. But maybe you're just ahead of the curve. There's some discussion about it on Reddit here.

A rare well-drawn paint-on-glass animated film that's NOT directed by Aleksandr Petrov. About a boy who has a pretty terrible life at home and at school (partly through his own fault), who is saved by "the magic of Christmas" (and the tree was still put up at Christmas in Russia at the time that this story was written, not at New Year's). Although a good film (and the director's ONLY film), I do think that on the whole I prefer the original story. The film makes the boy who is the main character a little less nasty (it takes out all the times he bullies the other kids), adds a dream sequence (that ties in with a poem by Vladimir Nabokov that seems like it was made for this story, thought it was really written a few decades later), and plays up the hopefulness and the benefits of religious salvation, leaving out parts of the original story which are rather more ambivalent about the matter. The original story at least implies that the "magic", such as it is, does not last past Christmas, while the film ends on a hopeful note.

This is part of a trickle of animated films with a specifically religious message that have been funded in Russia in recent decades. They aren't especially well-represented on this site yet, but I should probably add some more of the most "notable" examples.

Isn't it a bit strange that I've waited this long to add "Nu, pogodi!" to the site, and started with #8?
Well, this is a classic, beloved holiday-season cartoon, so it's timely.
I can't be neutral about this one; it's part of my childhood. It's quite fun.

Though it also showcases some Russia-specific holiday traditions that can be a bit tricky to describe to others. Like the kids gathering around the big fir tree, Father Frost (like Santa Claus, but originally something like "Old Man Cold" or "King Winter") coming out, and all of them chanting "Sne-gu-roch-ka" ("Snow Maiden") to get his daughter to come out and hand out the presents (her mother is Spring). The Snow Maiden isn't some old folk character, but was really created (for all intents and purposes) only in the late 19th century by Ostrovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov in their opera, about the power of love and the pagan Sun god to melt coldness in springtime. Later adapted into an animated feature in 1952 by Ivanov-Vano.

Odd bit of history there, but it's basically just a fun tradition for kids now.

There are a few reasons the series hasn't been here until now - the films are a bit deceptive in that they mostly have almost no dialogue, but they do have many songs with lyrics that can be tricky to translate (yet often not very important to the film itself). This one is a bit of an exception (along with #15) in that it has a song sung by the main characters very prominently in the middle of the action. I'm lucky that I was able to find a good, rhyming translation of it by Boris Anisimov, which I've edited further.

Also, this series is/was so famous that it seemed like it didn't really matter whether it was here or not. And, the sheer number of episodes was a bit intimidating. I felt like if I was going to add one, I should add all of them at once. Not great reasons, but it is what it is.

Hanoi is experiencing very hot days, which is considered unusual for the end of December. You know, the winter in Northern Vietnam is very similar to the melting snow in the Arctic, when the cold seeps into the clothes and makes anyone shiver. However, climate change has made summer longer. Without wind, the combination of air and sunlight creates environmental problems : Dust flying everywhere, the smell of bacteria and garbage. So, this film is truly a frightening warning to all of us !

This is the comic version of the short story : EN & RU.

Only two films in this entry, whereas the first 5 Merry-Go-Rounds had had at least 3. Galina Barinova (married to series co-founder Anatoliy Petrov) again played it extremely safe artistically (after being criticized for being too bold in "Mosaic", in Merry-Go-Round #1). The project was likely chosen for her by the script editor (the Party's man at the studio). It's kind of charming but rather average, like most of her films during this period. I think she only became an excellent and artistically bold director about 10 years later in her career. I do wonder who the female voice in the song is, as it's not credited. Is it Barinova herself?

Next is Eduard Nazarov's film, adapting a children's story about a little hippo. It's only his second film, and probably my least favourite film of his career. It spends quite a long time being mopey and sad... which, to be fair, is in the original story, but when one is reading the original story, it goes by much quicker. Maybe the original voice actor (removed by management for his "sighs being too erotic") was better. I don't much like the design of the hippo, either (though Nazarov was quite pleased with how symmetrical he was). Nazarov's films after this would be much, much better, especially his final five. They're all on the site right now, except for his contribution to Merry-Go-Round #9.

I tried to translate the song to rhyme in the first film, but it wasn't always possible. For the second film, I did most of it myself but got stuck on translating the "mayhem" passage ("представляете себе, что бы это был за грохот и топот! И гул и гам! И бам и тарарам! И ужас что такое!"), and ended up using Microsoft Copilot to help (final result: "just imagine what sort of crash and clatter it would be! And roaring and racket! And wham and ker-whallop! And a terrible to-do!").

Overall, this entry (and the one before) were kind of low points in the Merry-Go-Round series up to this point. From its start as artistically-bold mini-films for children by enthusiastic artists at the beginning of their careers, it had become safe and anodyne, with uninspired direction, and scripts and art style made to appeal to management. In the following years, though, I think they began to get more interesting again.
