SOYUZMULTFILM, 1970
Wait a minute!
Wait, wait!
To the city. To celebrate the New Year!
UMKA LOOKS FOR HIS FRIEND
written by Yuriy Yakovlev music Yevgeniy Krylatov
Have you seen my friend
who walks on two legs
and can take off his own skin?
His cheeks do not grow hair,
and his nose is not black, but pink.
He is a boy.
I keep trying to find him. But I'm finding only seals
and not a single boy!
Umka! Don't fall behind.
What is that red, blue and green moss?
That is not moss. Those are the Northern Lights.
How do I eat them?
You don't eat them, you admire them.
I don't want to admire them. I'm hungry!
Catch me a fish!
How am I supposed to catch one, when there's ice all around us?
Just wait, once we get to the edge of the ice floe...
Come on, come on, come on!
Umka, wait! Umka, don't rush!
Mom, there's something shining!
- Where is it shining? - Over there.
A holiday tree!
How do I eat it?
You don't eat it, you admire it!
A holiday tree is a sort of large green icicle
that people decorate with toys, shiny baubles, multi-colored lights...
- I want a green icicle! - Stop!
There are people there!
People?
Then my friend is there too! Hooray!
The snow crunches beneath my feet, And a blizzard ruffles my fur.
The holiday tree signals me with its lights, Like a New Year's lighthouse.
What a wonder, what a wonder, This holiday tree-lighthouse!
Who lit up such a tree for me? No doubt, it was my friend!
I fear not the icy chill, For the lights around me glow!
What a wonder, what a wonder, Are these lights around me!
There are so many people, but my friend isn't here.
I'll go look for him in another house.
Who's there?
radio room
What sort of mischief is this?! Go get some sleep!
I'm issuing a reprimand! I'm issuing a reprimand!
Umka! Umka! Where are you, Umka?
Who's there?
Cook
Where is Umka?
Where has that obnoxious child gone?
Umka!
Where are you...
flying off to?...
I'll be back, Mom!
I'll find my friend and then I'll be back.
The End
