USSR Committee for TV and Radio 1978
2
00:00:07,370 --> 00:00:10,440
There lived in our village an old man.
3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,940
Kokovanya was his name.
4
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,880
He didn't have any family left,
so he decided
5
00:00:20,980 --> 00:00:25,080
to adopt a little orphan.
6
00:00:47,660 --> 00:00:54,300
PODARYONKA (Little Gift)
Based on Pavel Bazhov's tale "Silver Hoof"
7
00:01:22,690 --> 00:01:25,020
Muryonka, Muryonka, Muryonochka...
8
00:01:35,770 --> 00:01:38,310
Kiddy kit, little kitten...
9
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,580
Are you perhaps, Grigory's "little gift"*?
(*Assigned Orphan.)
10
00:01:41,831 --> 00:01:43,381
I am.
11
00:01:47,450 --> 00:01:49,500
Well, Podaryonka,*
(*Liffle Gift)
12
00:01:49,851 --> 00:01:51,901
how'd you like to
come and live with me?
13
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,440
Granddad, how did you know that
Daryonka's my name?
14
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,180
Well, you know...
15
00:01:59,380 --> 00:02:04,060
It just came out. No joke, no jest,
I simply guessed.
16
00:02:04,180 --> 00:02:08,560
I'll come. But take my
cat Muryonka too.
17
00:02:08,700 --> 00:02:11,180
That's as sure as I stand here!
18
00:02:11,281 --> 00:02:14,531
To leave a cat that
can sing like that...
19
00:02:14,632 --> 00:02:16,182
...you'd have to be...
20
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,600
...a right fool!
21
00:02:23,260 --> 00:02:25,090
But who are you, grandfather?
22
00:02:25,180 --> 00:02:30,400
Me? You could say I'm a hunter.
23
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,720
In the summers I wash sand
and look for gold,
24
00:02:35,830 --> 00:02:39,160
and in the winters I run around
looking for a certain goat,
25
00:02:39,411 --> 00:02:41,061
but I never get a sight of it.
26
00:02:41,430 --> 00:02:43,020
Like this one?
27
00:02:43,970 --> 00:02:47,640
"Like that one"... heh...
you're funny.
28
00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:49,960
No, not that kind of goat.
29
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,140
I'm chasing a forest goat.
30
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:59,120
I want to see where he stamps
his right forefoot.
31
00:03:00,580 --> 00:03:02,380
What do you need that for?
32
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,500
Let's get to my house, and
I'll tell you all about it.
33
00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:23,810
It's a very special goat. On his
right forefoot, he's got a silver hoof
34
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:29,260
and when he stamps with that silver hoof
he leaves a gemstone there.
35
00:03:34,540 --> 00:03:37,940
Granddad, does the goat stink?
36
00:03:39,020 --> 00:03:45,180
Good lord!... You... why'd he have
to stink? 'Tis a forest goat.
37
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,120
He smells like the forest.
38
00:03:50,140 --> 00:03:53,440
Granddad, and does he have horns?
39
00:03:53,540 --> 00:03:56,500
Aye, that he has, and fine ones too.
40
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:04,600
Ordinary goats have two horns, but
this one's got antlers, with five tines.
41
00:04:06,620 --> 00:04:10,380
Here's some milk for you,
my dear Muryonochka.
42
00:04:17,900 --> 00:04:25,760
Balalaichka, my dear, balalaika,
I will sing, and you play along with me
43
00:04:25,860 --> 00:04:33,850
All about the Ural lands, about our homeland,
And about our little girl, our little gift
44
00:04:33,950 --> 00:04:37,600
How is it? Not bad?
45
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:45,480
What a kindly soul she has, that wee girlie,
How beautiful she is, our little gift.
46
00:04:45,580 --> 00:04:53,840
Gives people kindness and affection,
Gives people her dreams and her tales.
47
00:04:53,940 --> 00:04:57,500
What a song Kokovanya
thought up!
48
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:05,420
Tuti-luti, tuti-tuti, balalaika,
What will I now sing about? Try to guess.
49
00:05:05,521 --> 00:05:10,021
All about the Ural lands, about our homeland,
50
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:15,040
And about our little girl,
our Little Gift...
51
00:05:41,700 --> 00:05:46,000
Granddad! Granddad!
52
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,510
Take me with you, Grandad!
53
00:05:52,890 --> 00:05:57,270
Maybe Silver Hoof will come up
close and then I'll see him.
54
00:05:57,471 --> 00:05:59,021
No way...
55
00:05:59,140 --> 00:06:04,480
Are you kidding? Take a little girl
into the woods in winter?!
56
00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:09,810
You'd have to go on skis
and you don't know how.
57
00:06:09,911 --> 00:06:11,811
You'd sink in the snow.
You'd freeze too!
58
00:06:11,940 --> 00:06:16,920
Take me, take me, Grandad!
I can ski a little bit!
59
00:06:17,020 --> 00:06:18,440
Look at you!
60
00:06:18,541 --> 00:06:22,241
All right, I'll take you.
Only see...
61
00:06:22,340 --> 00:06:27,020
you don't start crying when we get
to the woods or asking to go home.
62
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,820
I'll be right back, Granddad!
63
00:06:51,130 --> 00:06:54,970
Muryonka, Granddad and I
are going to the woods,
64
00:06:55,071 --> 00:06:58,221
and you must stay home
and catch all the mice.
65
00:06:58,420 --> 00:07:01,160
When we see Silver Hoof
we'll come back home again
66
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,020
and I'll tell you all about it.
67
00:07:40,270 --> 00:07:45,020
Granddad, I'm coming!
68
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:47,920
La la la la...
69
00:09:50,540 --> 00:09:53,380
Ehe-heh, well...
70
00:09:53,980 --> 00:10:00,850
If I went to a far forest.
maybe I would meet Silver Hoof.
71
00:10:00,980 --> 00:10:05,020
But won't you be frightened, all alone?
72
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,080
Why would I be frightened?
73
00:10:07,180 --> 00:10:11,360
The hut's a good strong one,
the wolves can't get in.
74
00:10:11,460 --> 00:10:13,900
And I've got Muryonka with me.
75
00:10:17,050 --> 00:10:19,560
Then... hoppa!
76
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,320
The light air is transparent,
The dew shines just like fire
77
00:11:28,421 --> 00:11:31,921
From underneath those hooves there
The orange stars fly out.
78
00:11:32,020 --> 00:11:36,170
The brave goat rushes on,
The flowers are abloom.
79
00:11:36,330 --> 00:11:40,430
Through the silence the silver
Of the hoof gaily rings!
80
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,780
La la la la la...
81
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,900
And once the ground he touches,
The flowers open up
82
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,560
And he then rushes forward,
Like a song of kindness
83
00:11:58,660 --> 00:12:02,840
The brave goat rushes on,
The flowers are abloom.
84
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,860
Through the silence the silver
Of the hoof gaily rings!
85
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,440
Muryonka! Muryonka!
86
00:13:13,180 --> 00:13:15,360
Oh, geez... oh, geez...
87
00:13:15,461 --> 00:13:17,661
I'll be damned.
88
00:13:31,060 --> 00:13:34,420
Muryonka!
89
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,200
Muryonka!
90
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,720
Muryonka!
91
00:15:45,420 --> 00:15:51,240
Over the Ural lands
A sung fairy tale flies
92
00:15:51,940 --> 00:15:57,740
Meanwhile, the girl Podaryonka,
Hears the clattering of hooves.
93
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:05,020
The music takes up the ringing
With a key to suit the words,
94
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:12,460
And the wee girl Podaryonka
Gifts you this sung fairy tale.
95
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:19,020
The kind goat enters the story,
Striking his hoof on the ground.
96
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:25,580
Podaryonka offers kindness
To the ones who yearn for it.
97
00:16:26,220 --> 00:16:32,640
From beneath the featherlight hoof,
Gems fly up into the sky.
98
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:39,020
And the silver hoof shines brightly,
Twinkling with golden sparks.
99
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:51,540
Every priceless little gemstone
Glows just like a bright star
100
00:16:52,300 --> 00:16:57,760
Gradually turning into
A fine, precious chrysolite.
101
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:05,200
From beneath the featherlight hoof,
Gems fly up into the sky.
102
00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:07,160
And the silver hoof shines brightly,

It covered up all the gemstones.
112

We cleared the snow away afterwards,
but couldn't find anything.
113

Nobody ever saw
Silver Hoof like that again.
114
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,740
But after that, people began to find gems
in the glade where he had run about.
115
00:17:50,841 --> 00:17:53,941
They were green, and big.
