Subtitles first made by Eus in Dec 2019, then retranslated by Niffiwan in rhyming meter (which took about 7 hours). A "pood" (e.g. at 2:12) is an old Russian measurement unit of about 16kg.

- Ahoy, my elephantine mammal! You know, I've decided...
- ...Decided to prove that you're not a camel?
- Decided to execute some big vision! I've now done the hard bit - I've made the decision!
- Your path into wisdom has not yet begun.
The hard bit these days is to get something done!
Take me. I'm soon going to fly to the moon.
- To the moon?! You think you'll manage that anytime soon?
I say with full confidence:
A big elephant the moon will not hold.
Your dreams must be in congruence with your size in the world.
- Oh yeah? I guess it's n... not for me.
- Wait... I've an intuition! Pom - pom.
You do have talent! You're pam-pam-pam,
Pom-pom-pom... A musician! Okay, let's write a ditty! What could be more pretty?
- We need words, to start...
- We need a head for art! And since we know no poets of any kind, I myself will write a few lines. Write this down.
Two camels... were... a-flying.
- You're a poet! Our luck came soon!
- Now you try to come up with a tune.
Now then, Two camels were a-flying...
- From where to where?
- Africa to Australia.
- What for?
- They carried three poods fine...
- Of what?
- Of sweets and chocolate!
- A Rock Band - that's going places!
That covers all the bases. Oh yeah, it's simply aces!
This song lit up the stage like a grenade,
Won the Grand Prix at the hit parade,
On my last disc, it's the best ditty!
Meow-meow, my kitty!
Hey, it's the artist of this hit you're looking at!
Music by Cat. Russian lyrics by Cat!

Meow! We are Cat! We sing a musical song!
Meow, meow, meow!
I walk somewhere at night...
I cannot recall...
...This song of mine. Meow, meow, meow!
Meow, meow, meow!

- There's no refrain, but it's essential.

- Well, we'll create one. For example, like this:
"Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah," cried the kangarah.
- Kangaroo.
- In that case:
Exclaimed the kangaroo: "Hurroo, hurroo, hurroo."
- How about this:
Since all was good and proper,
the kangaroo children hopped there,
- Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah! And ate the chocolates...
- Hey, what's all this crying?
- It's our song "Two Camels Were A-Flying"

Would you like me to sing it?
- Later.
Attention, please. I have a project. It'll interest you.
Can I expect a couple more songs from you two?
- More? Us? No. Not even a demo.
- No problemo!
- "Two Camels Were A-Flying"...
Not bad. Not bland. Yeah, they'll be hits!
Your songs. We'll be a rock band!

Greetings, O tutor of young generations.
- Salutations! What's this gathering about?
- We three are, sort-of, a rock group.
- Uh-uh... Is that like a theater troupe?
- We're a rock group.
- We're a rock group.
- We're a rock group!
- We're a rock group.

A group of young animals in our department,
under the artistic direction of... Marmot,
will perform the song "Who Should Be Your Role Model?" A translation from Canadian.
My own, by the way.
A-la-la-la! La la la la!
Let's imagine that a jay-bird
Has a mark-book ruined with D's.
"This is true," shall say our jay-bird,
"School for me is not a breeze!"
Beasts tell truth, just like they should!
All these beasts are "Very Good"!
Beasts tell truth, just like they should!
All these beasts are "Very Good"!
[Certificate of Merit]
Let's imagine that a frog-child
Drowned his mark-book in a pond.
"Is it true, my little frog-child?"
He will not deny his fault.
[Certificate of Merit]
Beasts tell truth, just like they should!
All these beasts are "Very Good"!
Beasts tell truth, just like they should!
All these beasts are "Very Good"!
- We're a rock group.
A Group of ROCK.
- I hear you! I hear you!
I'm not yet a deaf... groundhog.
So who is your artistic director?
- Him.
- The Cat?!
Hehe, my friend, is it true?
YOU direct this crew?
- Why, you have fears?
I studied music for eight and a half years!
And I easily distinguish
one note from another.
- Then, dear brother, tell me, what is this note?
- Naturally "Do." - No! "Do" is lower down,
This is "Re".
- With good playing, it may be called both this and that.
- And what's this sign, dear Cat?
- That? A pretzel, yup!
- He screwed up.
- What a dope! There's no hope!
What narrow mental scope!

Two camels were a-flying,
Africa to Australia.
They carried three poods fine
of sweets and chocolate.
Since all was good and proper,
the kangaroo children hopped there,
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah! And ate the chocolate...
candy bars!

Two camels were a-flying,
Africa to Australia.
First it was horrifying
(Oh-oh-oh!)
Then it was nice and quiet.
Since all was good and proper,
the kangaroo children hopped there,
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah! And ate the chocolate...
and candy bars!
