TWO PICTURES
CRY-BABY MARIE based on verses by Agnia Barto
What's that howl? What's been roused? Could it be a herd of cows?
No, that's not a cow I see - That's Marie the cry-baby.
Cries and floods, in her duress, Wetting all her pretty dress...
Marie took a stroll outside, And again she sobbed and cried:
- I will not go anywhere! I don't like this garden! There!
They brought Marie back inside, But her tears would not abide.
She wants to go back:
- Home's a nasty shack!
They pour Marie some nice milk. She cries 'cause the cup's too big.
- From this one I cannot drink! Get another from the sink!
Once her milk was in another, Marie stomped her foot, all bothered:
- This one's not for me! Just get me some tea!
As they put Marie to bed, Once again her eyes got wet:
- I shan't sleep, I'll fuss! Dress me in my dress!
All the people gathered 'round. From where comes this crying sound?
Who is making such a scene? What does this all mean?
They see - a girl stands upright, Making for a curious sight:
Beet-nose, swollen red, And her dress all wet.
- Cry-baby, why cry you now, Like a saddened, sobbing cow?
You're so very wet, you know, That you could get mold to grow.
RIDING A TRAIN lyrics - Ellen Niit Music - Gustav Ernesaks
Chug-chug-chug - the train rode on, A duck drove it, all alone,
With the beat its wheels did sing: Kleng-kleng-kling and kleng-kleng-kling!
Hey now, hey now, take a look - See the passengers it took?
Cats with shawls and cats with mittens And, of course, some baby kittens.
They were going to Türile, And, as well, to Jürile.
In one wagon, shaggy dogs, In another, little hogs.
The dogs going to Torilasse, And the hogs to Porilasse.
Here's a wagon with horned rams, Mummy goats and little lambs,
All are going to Karjakülla, Karjakülla-Marjakülla.
Chug-chug-chug - the train rode on, A duck drove it, all alone,
While the wheels were rattling sweetly The driver fell asleep completely.
Oh-oh-oh, what a disaster - Where's a train without its master?
The train rode on - chug-chug-chug, Flew into a ditch - ka-tchung!!
Oh-oh-oh, boom, bam, bear - Passengers, how do you fare?
They all fell and rolled like wheels - Tumbled round, heads over heels.
Kittens ran, tails in the air, Tongues out, dogs went everywhere.
Ten hogs fell into the mud, Ten dogs ran away for good,
And the goats got all mixed up; Got their horns all tangled up.
The cats won't get to Türile, Nor the kittens to Jürile.
No dogs going to Torilasse, And no hogs to Porilasse.
For goats in vain waits Karjakülla, Karjakülla-Marjakülla.
Chug-chug-chug - the train rode on, No duck drove it, it had gone,
With the beat its wheels did sing: Kleng-kleng-kling and kleng-kleng-kling!
