They're eating something...
...home, where by our doors our dog Chapa waited for us.
On that day, she greeted us with silence,
Chapa glanced at us, with...

To Aleksey Michaylovich Pronin,
let's remember the good old days
of spring, 1945.
"In a Forest Near the Front",
Lyrics by M. Isakovskiy, music by me, Matvey Blanter.
Unheard, a yellow birch leaf falls, And on the ground it lays.
The ancient waltz "Dreams of the Fall" Our accordionist plays.
The music sings, complains and sighs, And listening to its sound,
In dreamful slumber close their eyes My soldier pals around...

Two-Twenty! (rubles)
...After all, Pioneers are the most important guests of Little Octobrist groups,
And not just in groups. They are helpers, guides...
Could you give me 300 grams of "tea-sausage", please?
Ninety five kopeks!
Attention, Attention! You are listening to the Voice of America from Washington.
...our dog Chapa waited for us.
On that day, she greeted us with silence.
Chapa glanced at us with her enormous, sad eyes...
What grows on a fir tree? Pine cones and needles.
Festive multicolored balls Don't grow on a fir tree.
Don't grow on a fir tree Gingerbreads and flags,
Fir trees won't grow nuts In gold paper bags
All these baubles and flags bright Grew today, right here,
For all Soviet kids tonight To greet the New Year!
Little, small fir tree In the wood was cold
We brought small fir tree To our home to hold.
We hung up beads and Began a circle dance
We'll greet the New Year Gaily with our friends!
Unheard, a yellow birch leaf falls, And on the ground it lays.
The ancient waltz "Dreams of the Fall" Our accordionist plays.
The music sings, complains and sighs, And listening to its sound,
In dreamful slumber close their eyes My soldier pals around...
Seventy five
Twenty nine and a half

Well... let's go
Where are you off to?
Look, the scarf is here!
Hiding from the moth.
