Oh, life is hard in this world as a fox.
Like an abandoned bast-shoe by the roadside.
All folks are unfair to a fox;
From those cruel dogs I barely managed to save my hide.
Of everyone I must be scared;
My soul trembles, like my tail.
But I won't let it get me down,
For life really is quite fine!
Brother Hare, won't you let old Patrikey's daughter in for one night?
Come in, Fox!
Though we don't have much room in here, We've pancakes sizzling on the stove.
- Thank you, brother! Even a place by the door will suffice for me.
But if this thing should turn up missing, I may just die of grief, no kidding!
Take heed, children:
If her bast shoe should be lost, bitter tears will shed Ms. Fox!
- The bast shoe will stay safe, have no fears; We won't let Ms. Fox shed tears!
- Robbed, ruined! Turned out bare-handed into the world!
Only this speckled hen will help soothe my grief.
Foxy, please do not be angry with us.
If you run into trouble, the Hares' door will be open for you.
- Ko-ko-ko! It's not easy for me to part with the little hares!
- Of everyone I must be scared; My soul trembles, like my tail.
But I won't let it get me down, For life really is quite fine!
- Wolfie, brother! Won't you let old Patrikey's daughter in for one night?
Of course, I'll let you in!
Only, see, I'm doing repairs. I'm embarassed, my dear Fox.
- Don't be embarassed, brother! Even a place by the door will suffice.
But if this hen should turn up missing, I may just die of grief, no kidding!
Only two of us live here: me and the ram.
How could something turn up missing? How could there be deceit?
- We don't need this hen, Neither you nor me-e-e-e!
- Robbed, ruined! Turned out bare-handed into the world!
What a disgrace, what deceit! Not even a ram would soothe my grief!
Do not think badly of me, Fox.
Take the ram, and don't spread rumours among folks...
- Ah, I declare, I've got some luck again!
Yes, through the clouds there shines a ray of light...
Once more I'll sleep on something soft,
In a nice, cozy house, well-fed and warmed most nicely!
Of everyone I must be scared; My soul trembles, like my tail.
But I won't let it get me down, For life really is quite fine!
Brother Bear, won't you let old Patrikey's daughter in for one night?
How could I refuse you?
My house is large; there's lots of room.
To freshen up, go take a cold shower after your trip.
- Your kindness is to be lauded, brother, I will not take a shower.
A spot right by the door will suit me fine.
But if this ram should turn up missing, I may just die of grief, no kidding!
- I declare in advance, I do not eat rams.
Since my honey's what I really love.
- Moo-oo-oo! No one needs your ram, oh Fox, no-oo-oo-oo!
- Robbed, ruined! Turned out bare-handed into the world!
Be still! Be still, my beating heart!
Oh, I'll die, I'll die! Even a little bull won't soothe my woe!
- Take the little bull, Fox,
Only speak no ill!
Don't go and say that this old Bear's a sneaky thief!
- Ah, I declare, I've got some luck again...
- Ko-ko! It's hard for her to drag us!
Yes, through the clouds there shines a ray of light...
- Meh-eh! What nonsense gets into your head!
Once more I'll sleep on something soft...
Moo-moo! I wouldn't wish that on anyo-o-one!
In a nice, cozy house, well-fed and warmed most nicely!
Only a small loss for a catch so large!
It isn't stealing, just don't be daft!
(barking)
- Of everyone I must be scared;
My soul trembles, like my tail.
But I won't let it get me down,
For life really is quite fine!
I got lucky...
I'll sleep on something soft...
Yes, through the clouds... I will be warmed most nicely....
(ram bleats)
Must run, I'll sleep well-fed...
Quickly, quickly!
Or else, I'll sing my...
...very last note!
