Soyuzmultfilm Moscow, 1972
The film features The essays of schoolchildren:
What would I do if I had a magic wand?
The magic wand
If I were a magician, I would make myself wings,
I would circle all of the earth,
and become friends with guys all over the world,
I would ride a bit on elephants,
I would live a cheerful and fun life.
I do not like our dasha (summer house), I like to live in the city in the summer,
Mum says - the air is bad, factories spoil it and cars too,
If I were a magician,
I would invent them all to be smokeless,
And I would make this happen,
Put many houses together
in one really long line
And on the roofs of the long line of houses
a real river would flow,
I would make it so that there never would be a war anymore,
and that all the fascist guns and tanks would fail,
And that everything would become very green,
There would be deer,
I'd wanted to teach the animals not to be afraid of people,
And I would make all people have fun,
I would be a comedian, like Oleg Popov,
I would play football well, so everyone was interested,
Our team - 48 : 0 - guest team
I would like to always, always be good at learning:
for an "outstanding" and "superb",
I would then become a test pilot,
A star, flying in the distance,
All loved ones left behind,
Boys dream about the earth and girls dream about the earth
en route to the blue sky,
expanse of unknown planets,
And the songs, sung about the trail,
Happy trails to distant shores!
May you come across cheerful star havens,
Happy trails to distant shores!
May you come across cheerful star havens,
I really want to see the stars around us,
because the stars seem so small to me,
And I want to see them as big as Yuri Gagarin saw them,
Flying over Brest ships,
Flying over the Bay of Providence,
Boys dream about the earth and girls dream about the earth
the same dream,
expanse of unknown planets,
And the song, the song of the trail,
Happy trails to distant shores!
May you come across cheerful star havens,
The magic wand
