Mom comes home from work.
Mom takes off her boots.
Mom goes into the house.
And mom looks around.
Was there a raid on the apartment?
Nuh-uh.
Did a hippo visit us?
Nuh-uh.
Has there been a hurricane?
Nuh-uh.
Maybe a volcano erupted?
No.
It's just that Seryozhka came.
We played around a little.
THE BLUE METEORITE
written by Roman Sef directed by Anatoliy Petrov music Shandor Kallosh, voice Maria Babanova
Somewhere out in space, in flight, Is a blue meteorite.
You are walking - and it flies.
You are running - and it flies.
You fall down - and it still flies...
Out in space - the meteorite.
Bit by bit you will grow up,
Ten galosh-pairs you'll use up,
You will read a heap of books,
Become an astronomer.
And one evening, you'll go out,
To visit your friends there.
Suddenly
The loudspeaker says: "Tonight
In the Taiga fell a meteorite"
All of the world does it excite -
In the Taiga fell a meteorite!
And you will say to your good friends,
Leaving Moscow on your mission:
"I will not visit you today;
I urgently must fly away
On a surveying expedition."
...You, today, Are eight years old,
Before you lies The whole wide world,
But in the cosmos somewhere...
There flies, flies, flies, flies -
Your very own blue meteorite - Your precious gift most fair.
So: While it zips on its way...
Study briskly, every day.

Ginger, ginger!
Freckled redhead!
With a shovel killed your granddad!
Ginger, ginger, freckled redhead, With a shovel killed your granddad!
If a boy is freckle-clad,
Does the fault lie with the lad
For being born into this world with freckles?
Yet from very early on,
He'll be blocked at every turn -
Girls and boys will throw insults like pebbles:
Ginger, ginger, freckled redhead, With a shovel killed your granddad!
He didn't hit granddad at all!
He loved granddad most of all!
So he goes to his granddad,
And his granddad tells the lad:
Look at me, I too have many freckles!
If I walk into the square,
To this day I have to bear
Old grannies who throw insults like pebbles:
Ginger, ginger, freckled redhead, With a shovel killed your granddad!
I didn't hit granddad at all.
I loved granddad most of all.
I, too, didn't hit granddad at all.
I loved granddad most of all.
In the sky the sun burns bright,
And it says from its great height:
I was also born all ginger-colored!
If I want to, truth be told,
I can turn everyone gold,
Here now, look at what has happened!
Ginger, ginger, freckled redhead, With a shovel killed your granddad!
Dad is ginger, granddad too,
The world's ginger through-and-through!
Ginger, ginger, freckled redhead, With a shovel killed your granddad!
But with freckles all around, Can enough shovels be found?
