Today is little Masha's birthday
Her mother took her to see a real concert for the first time,
and she also received, as presents,
a little negro boy doll, a cake and a balloon.
Mama? Why is the little negro Tom so sad?
Ooh, now I remember when you told me about negroes
and how harsh their lives are.
Tom probably had a difficult life as well!
Isn't that true, mama?
That's exactly right, Masha.
That's why now you must make him happy.
But how can I make him happier, mama?
Oh, I know, I know! I know what I'll do!
Get up everyone, get up!
We'll have a concert for Tom!
He is sooo sad!
We must cheer him up!
There will be no concerts today.
- Mama... - It's late now and...
...it's time for you and Tom to go to sleep.
There will be no concerts today!
Hah! As if!
Just look, in another 15 minutes it'll be 30 minutes to 10! How awful!
Where are you going? Where?
You'll fall and break
Can I have the concert now, mama?
Yes, it's all right now, my little one.
Our first number is a ballet
All the matryoshkas before you stand,
You can count them on your hand.
That famous queen of the air, the monkey Hop-Hop!
If you please.
Attention! Your attention again!
We'll have bull-fighting from Spain!
Though why they fight them there, I forgot to ask.
Probably to stop them from getting too rowdy...
And now... Yablochkо*! (*Russian Sailors Dance)
Poor little Тom, he used to be So sad in his own land,
With a sad voice he used to sing His song, you understand,
He lives with Masha now, and he's Content and filled with glee -
And now that same old song of Tom's Is in a major key!
3, 4, 5, 6... 7!
Mama, mama!
All the elephants are in one piece! Not one is broken!
And look at Tom! He is so happy now!
- Right, mama? - That's right, Masha!
