Why does the kitten have a tail?
Why does the calf have a tail?
And I - an orphan -
don't have a tail!
Have pity on me, have pity!
So can you think of an original tail for me?
Alright, my dear, I'm ready,
with all the tails you want,
to help you, orphan:
At least four tails to tie on.
Ah-ah-ah-ah...
Give me...
The peacock's!
Gold, green, blue.
What for you want the peacock's?
You better take the goat's.
I do not want tails of sheep and goats!
Get me the peacock's,
Gold, green, blue!
So I can go for a stroll through the woods,
ultra-fashionably dressed.
As I take after the peacock going through the Forests and the bogs.
How the animal nation gasps,
Well, what a handsome man goes there!
An, that bear, that bear in the woods, How they check out my beauty.
So, do not worry, I pity fools,
That do not have such a tail!
There! O! OU! A! YOU! E! OU! A!
Oh how good it suits you, floating around as a peacock!
I wouldn't have recognized you, and taken you for a peacock.
Oh, what a beauty you gain from that peacock's tail!
Look at that! Look, what.
Shines there so golden in the swamp?
Look! Look!
It must be a Firebird!
Because it has pure gold on it's feathers.
It would be best, my dear, if we'd manage
to catch it as soon as possible.
Hunters caught our friend?
He got toed into trouble?
Alright, my fellows, I go!
- Ah! - Wow!
Well now! You poor lad! Tied up?
You can't untie yourself?
Give us a ransom!
Bring us that,
And you can take him along.
Let us not offend our bear by not giving anything.
Let's get our clumsy friend freed as a crowd.
Chestnuts, nuts the forest is full of them.
And berries, and apples We also have in store!
For gathering Toptygina's randsom, we shall never feel sorry!
All for the hunters to give back our friend!
Let the hunters take the gifts from the animals.
And release our, Toptygina soon!
My dear friend,
dressing up like a peacock.
Really doesn't suit a bear!
