A little house not too big nor too small
just, just a little house for the taking
Not too big not too small it is.
Doesn't look like it's inhabited.
I, the frog Kwakushka, will move in here.
Who lives in this mansion? This mansion?
Is it not too big nor too small? Not too small
Who, who lives in this mansion? Who lives down here?
Me, I am the frog Kwakuchka! Who are you?
I am the mouse Norushka.
Can you let me move into the house so we can live in it together.
Of course. Do come in.
Tock, tock, what a mansion this is!
Not too big, not too small.
I am the frog Kwakushka
I am the mouse Norushka.
Who are you?
I am the rooster with the golden comb
red bearded, always on guard Allow me to stay
and I will faithfully serve you.
Allright, come in Allright, come in.
What mansion is that over there?
could be fair to live there...
Maybe I should check it out
If one doesn't try, one won't find out
Knock, knock, this is me Knock knock who are thee?
I am the frog Kwakushka.
I am the mouse Norushka.
I am the rooster with the golden comb and who are you?
I am the grey hedgehog with head nor feet sticking out
Please let me stay I can defend your home
Often I came to the rescue not afraid of anything.
All right, come in.
Hi hi come in Ha ha come in, come in
Oh you, Petya, dashing rooster....
You've got a golden comb
All envy you for your beard,
come fly to me you handsome one!
Fly over, no, better I sit here.
We shall see if I come down any further
You have two such broad wings...
that you resemble a little bit...
an eagle.
What are you chanting? Do repeate. I look like whom?
You look....like......
You look like no one but yourself and soon I'll eat your guts.
The fox has caught me, the fox has caught me!
Help, over here!
I, the pricky grey hedgehog won't let you get away
I'll shred your fur! Let go of the rooster, you!
Here's a warm shawl for you you'll soon be strong as a bear again
Do not worry, dearest Peter, You live.You'll be singing again
Hello red one, what occasion brings you here?
such a loot I know real near come with me and help me, dear.
Well I'll be damned!
I Could eat if just the gates were not closed
The gates are strong maybe we can crush them together
Well I'll be damned!
Hi, I am a rooster with a golden comb red bearded and always on guard
Allow me to stay with you and I will faithfully serve you.
So what can you do then?
I can catch mice, press down frogs, strangle hedgehogs and gut roosters.
well, we don't want that.
I seek the forest for logs I want to taste honey
or else ripe oats Tell me where I can find those, fox!
Wouldn't you like to call upon a rooster and taste his guts
I don't like to go there, serve him here
That won't go we'll have to break open the gate
Hello proprietors, open this gate at free will
or else we will break it open.
Quiet you bear, stop banging the door.
Our dough will overturn in the oven!
Listen, Misha, just go home
Don't poke your nose into this mansion op I'll prick it with my spurs
If you're thinking of coming in to loot You'll get acquainted with the guard - a hedgehog!
The proprietors do not care to let me in...
They do not want to treat me on a meal.
If all three of us put in our weight
we should be able to crash the gate.
Forward! backward! Here we go!!!
To the yard! The thieves are storming our gateway!
I will not take it out on you, fox, I'm a fair judge, but what enraged the wolf?
Why did he run away?
You pressed him somewhat that's why he ran away.
hey, master frog bring me out your biggest mug
water him guys! from every pitcher or tub
Help! Help! I'm drowning, I'm drowning!
We drove of the evil thief!
He has fled away!
He sprinted at full speed without a backward glance.
He will not return to our little mansion!
Today we have a merry feast!
Dancing in the courtyard to an accordion.
We drove away a bear and a fox.
The fox ran away leaving his tail
what a miracle happened to us!
We will lock the mansion now for the night
and sleep in our home till the morning
It is time for us all to retire
Only the hedgehog will not sleep until morning
He'll rattle and clatter with his hammer
so the wolf and the bear will hear it
and the rattling will drive away the fox
as far into the woods as possible
