THE LITTLE LOCOMOTIVE FROM ROMASHKOVO
Attention!
Attention! Attention!
Intercity train 'Vostok'...
departs at 10 o'clock sharp.
The 'Blue Express' departs at...
10 minutes past 10.
The train from Romashkovo...
arrives...
or... is late again.
It will not happen again.
The little locomotive from Romashkovo...
will not be late any more.
I shall really, really try!
Big field around us,
And forest green.
Springtime is teeming
With paths and with roads.
It's so nice that there is Sunshine in the world.
Wind, wish us a 'bon voyage'!
'Bon, bon, bon voyage'
The best 'bon voyage'!
Everything's interesting...
Whatever you see.
Oh, friendly song,
Ring all over the world!
It's so nice that there is Sunshine in the world.
Wind, wish us a 'bon voyage'!
'Bon, bon, bon voyage',
The best 'bon voyage'!
This is terrible!
What is this?! We'll miss our arrival time!
Yes? But so what? If we don't see the first lily-of-the-valleys...
we will miss the whole spring!
Yes... the whole spring!
Here he is!!
Quiet! Quiet!
What is this?!
We'll be late for sure now!
Yes, but if we don't hear the song of the first nightingale...
we will miss the whole summer!
Here he is!!
So why do we stop now?
Sunrise!
Every sunrise is unique in your life!
Time to go!
Otherwise we will be late.
Yes, but if we don't see the sun rise...
we could miss our whole life!
But we have to arrive on time.
Big field around us,
And forest green.
Springtime is teeming
With paths and with roads.
It's so nice that there is Sunshine in the world.
Wind, wish us a 'bon voyage'!
'Bon, bon, bon voyage'... - Singing again!
He must have met something very interesting on his way!
