On the ocean yes on the island of Buyan
Stands a baked bull, with garlic crushed in his behind.
- From his front - cut with the knife! - From his behind - dip and eat!
Don't you fool around now! Listen, don't you laugh!
This is just the prequel, here comes the real tale.
The tale
about the fearsome king Duranday
The beautiful Queen Tetyoha* (*clumsy, fat, older woman)
The blacksmith Sila* (*Strength)
And the blind girl Talan
Not in just any kingdom lived Tsar Duranday, Surrounded by tumbler-doll noblemen and army-generals.
Duranday's kingdom
Here also lived the blacksmith Sila, forced to slave for the Tsar. Hence this tale.
The Royal Smithy
Fine young blacksmiths! Give it your all! For the grace of your sovereign!
Fine young blacksmiths!
Getting yelled at, nothing to yell for themselves, getting chewed up, nothing to chew for themselves,
Forging bear-spears for fat knights,
Forging axes for the royal court,
Scoundrels, you blacksmiths! Silence!
Fine young blacksmiths! Give it your all! For the grace of your sovereign!
Tsar Duranday decided to get married
I am a formidable Tsar,
Attention!
I want to get married!
He wants to get married!
He wants to he wants to get married!
Ponder on it, Fat Heads!
What are your thoughts?
For our dear offspring Duranday, a testament. ...Whether there'll be war, or marriage -
For either, you have the blacksmith Sila. He's a poor wretch who'll do anything. You just yell: "Ay, Sila!..."
Ay, Sila!
The lovely Tetyoha!
Tetyoha's kingdom.
Tetyoha asked suitors to carry out three tasks:
Swing the heavy club, Ride the ardent horse, Drink the three-bucket goblet.
Hello, hello, hello!
So can you do the three tasks?
I am a formidable Tsar,
I can do four.
The first task
Ay, Sila!
Tetyoha's kingdom.
My maidenly kingdom is finished!!
Duranday journeyed to get his bride, for three days and three nights,
With a samovar, feather bed, infantry and cavalry...
Tetyoha's kingdom.
Tetyoha's kingdom
So you are a strong and mighty warrior.
The second task
Ay, Sila!
Silushka, let me go while I'm not dead yet!
Oh, I'm all shaken up.
BULL
The third task
Ay, Sila!
Oh, I agree!
Tsar Duranday and Tetyoha the Beautiful are to be wed.
[Beer hall]* *(written in German)
Here comes my destroyer,
Here comes my devastator,
Here comes the loosener of my braids,
Here comes the stealer of my beauty.
Welcome!
Hey my drum, drum and play this tune! The three tasks were cheated upon by Tsar Duranday, Ay, Sila! Ay, Sila!
Three tasks are done, but the fourth, but the fourth still remains, But the fourth still remains.
Ay, Sila! Ay, Sila!
The jesters ridiculed the queen. The smith Sila did everything for Duranday. Oh, what a formidable king!..
Aha!
This herdsman is feeble!
To the underworld with the impudent blacksmith.
The Underworld of Beautiful Tetyoha
Duranday's Kingdom
This kingdom is taken over by Tetyoha's kingdom.
