Karabas, Karabas! I will have my dinner now!
I'm the bloodthirsty, I'm the merciless,
I'm the evil robber Barmaley!
And I do not need
Either marmalade,
Nor chocolate,
But only small (Yes, very small!)
Children!
Karabas, Karabas! I will have my dinner now!
Come on over, Doctor, To Africa right quick
And please rescue, Doctor, Our dear little kids!
In Africa there's a robber, In Africa there's a villain,
To Africa's come the dreadful Bar-ma-ley!
He is running through Africa And eating little kids!
To Africa we will go, And this Barmaley we'll kill!
And this Barmalay will not Eat small children any more!
Africa is dreadful, - Yes-yes-yes!
Africa is dangerous, - Yes-yes-yes!
Do not go to Africa, Never-ever, kids!
To Africa, To Africa, To Africa we'll go,
And that bad, greedy, buccaneer In Africa we'll kill!
There is the shark Karakula, Opening its evil jaws!
Into the shark Karakula's Jaws would you not like to fall,
One and all?
No, that vile shark Karakula We don't need, we don't need!
We'll hit the shark Karakula With a brick, with a brick!
We'll hit the shark Karakula With a fist, with a fist!
We'll stomp the shark Karakula With our heel, with our heel!
Look, the shark got very scared, And it from its great fear, it drowned!
Serves you right, you nasty shark, serves you right!
Barmaley, Barmaley, Barmaley! You come out, Barmaley, and be quick!
Barmaley, Barmaley, Barmaley!
- You come out, Barmaley, and be quick! - You come out, Barmaley, and be quick!
Right through Africa we stroll. Dates and figs we pluck from trees!
Oh, grand Africa! Awesome Africa!
As the elephants run by, We'll play leapfrog on the fly.
Oh, grand Africa! Awesome Africa!
We will go saddle a rhino, And for some time we will ride him!
Oh, grand Africa! Awesome Africa!
Look! There, in the airplane, Someone's flying through the sky.
It's the doctor, it's the doctor, The kind Doctor Aybolit!
Oh, I beg of you, my dear, My beloved Barmaley,
Please untie these little children, Let the children get away!
I'm the bloodthirsty, I'm the merciless,
I'm the evil robber Barmaley!
And I do not need
Either marmalade,
Nor chocolate,
But only small
(Yes, very small!)
Children!
Oh, I'll be much more kind, I'll love all children now!
Please do not destroy me! Please have mercy on me!
Oh, I will be, I will be, I will be more kind!
