Lyrics Корней Чуковский - Тараканище

Bears were traveling
On a bicycle

Cat behind them is a cat
Backwards

KomarikiA behind him are mosquitoes
On a balloon

Cancers on a lame dogAnd behind them are crayfish
On a lame dog

Wolves on the mareHouses on the mare

Lions in the carLoves in the car

Bunnies in the tram

Toad on a broomstick

They go and laugh,
Gingerbread cookies.

Redhead and Mustache Suddenly out of the gateway
The terrible giant,
Redhead and Mustache
Cockroach!
Cockroach, cockroach,
Cockroach!

He growls, and screams,
And his mustache moves:
"Wait, do not rush,
I'll swallow you at once!
Swallow, swallow, do not pardon. "

Fainted The beasts trembled,
They fainted.

Bored of each otherHolks from fright
We ate each other.

Poor crocodile The crocodile
Toad swallowed.

SlonyahA elephant, all trembling,
And sat down on the hedgehog.

Only raki-zabiyaki Raki-bully
They are not afraid of fighting;
Although they back away,
But the mustache moves
And the giant giggles shouted:

"Do not scream and do not growl,
We ourselves are barbels,
Can we ourselves
Move your mustache! "
And back even further back.

And the Hippopotamus said to the Hippopotamus ...
Crocodiles and whales:

"Who does not fear the villain
And with the monster to fight,
I to that bogatyr
I'll give two frogs
And spruce cones please! "

"We are not afraid of him,
Your giant:
We are teeth,
We are fangs,
We hoof it! "

And a gay crowd, Zveri threw himself into battle
The animals threw themselves into battle.

But when they saw the beetle,
(Ah ah ah!),
Beasts gave a bellow
(Ah ah ah!).
In the woods, in the fields scattered:
The cockroaches were frightened.

And the Hippo cried out: And the Hippo cried out ...
"What a shame, what a shame!
Hey, bulls and rhinoceroses,
Come out of the den:
And raise the enemy on the horns! "

But bulls and rhinoceroses
Answer from the den:
"We would be the enemy
On the horns,
Only the skin is expensive,
And the horns are not cheap either. "

And they sit and tremble under the bunches,
Behind the marsh hide hummocks.

Crocodiles in nettles are scored, Crocodiles in nettles are scored
And in the ditch elephants were buried.
Only you can hear how your teeth chatter,
Only you can see how your ears are shaking.
A dashing monkey
Picked up the suitcases
And more likely with all legs
Nautec.

And the shark escaped, the Shark escaped
Only a tail waved.
And for her cuttlefish
So he backs off, so he backs away.

So the cockroach became the winner.
And forests and fields are master.
Conquered beasts mustarded
(To him to fail, to the accursed!).
And he walks between them,
Gilded belly strokes:
"Bring me, animals, your children,
I'm eating them for dinner today! "

Poor, poor beasts! Poor, poor beasts
They howl, howl, howling!
In every lair
And in every cave
Evil burnt cheats.

Yes, and what kind of mother
Will agree to give
His dear child -

Bear cub, wolf cub, baby elephant,
To an insatiable scarecrow
Poor little baby tortured!

They cry, they are killed,
With kids forever forgiven.

But one morning, I darted a kangaroo
Rided the kangaroo.
I saw a mustache,
Screamed in anger:
"Is this a giant?
(Ha-ha-ha!)
It's just a cockroach!
(Ha-ha-ha!)
Cockroach, cockroach, cockroach,
Liquid-skinned goat-beech.

Are not you ashamed?
Do not you hurt?
You are toothy,
You are fanged,
A little doll bowed,
A kozyavochke submissive! "

Frightened hippopotamuses, Frightened hippos
They whispered: "What are you, what are you!
Get away from here!
No matter how bad it was! "

Only suddenly because of the bush,
Because of the blue forest,
From distant fields
A sparrow arrives.
Jumping and jumping Wobble
Yes chick-chirik,
Chiki-riki-chik-chirik!

Caught and pecked Cockroach -
There is no giant.
The giants got it right,
And his mustache did not remain.
