Lyrics Джулия Дональдсон - Улитка и кит

Marina Boroditskaya

Let's start the story (take your seats!)
About a little snail and a giant whale.
Here is a rock
Where the snail lived above the sea,
And she sighed about and deed:
- I'm so tired from everything!
The world is huge, and I'm sitting here on a rock
And she could sail away on a big ship ...
(The ships were resting in the port,
And then they sailed away: tu-tu-u!)
The snails neighbors told her
Quiet and homebody:
- What are you always crawling about? Sit and be silent!
But the little snail sighed in the night:
- If only I could stay on the water!
However, it seems ... there is an idea!
Here's a snail's footprint:
It has a silvery color.
So, loop by loop, we got the inscription.
This one:
"Give someone a ride around the world"
And here is the giant whale,
He came from distant lands,
And he sang a song about sparkling ice floes,
About smart dolphins and tough penguins
About scarlet corals and yellow sands ...
I finished it - and the snail exclaimed: "Ah!"
And this is a whale tail
Shining in the starlight.
He touched the rock with his tail:
- Sit down and swam together!
And this is the blue sea
Auket in the open
A snail floating on a whale
On his strong tail,
To distant unknown countries,
To the icebergs ...
And volcanoes.
But the tall waves are dancing
And they splash and wave their foam caps
Happy snail on a fast whale -
On his wet tail.
And this kingdom is underwater
Where sea animals sleep
Where bright fish flutter like birds
And the sharks look hungry,
How bravely a snail floats on a whale -
On its smooth tail.

And this is the sky
Different all the time:
Now cloudy, now clear
And it also happens
Rumbling
Sparkling,
Try to stay on the whale here -
On his slippery tail!

The snail marveled at the sky, at the mountains,
On birds and animals, on the sea, -
And once I could not hold back a sigh:
- The world is so great! And I am so small ...

But suddenly a disaster struck:
The water boiled around
Motor boats swooped down
They rattled like rattles,
And the whale rushed, and the whale darted,
Swim too close to the beach -
And then the tide began ...

And now he lies on the shore.
- Rather into the water!
- I can not!
I'm too big
To crawl on land!
(And the voice of the whale is getting deeper ...)
- Oh, how can I move such a mountain?
But I know ... Hold on! I soon!
And on the way, the little snail
She started off quite quickly.

In a nearby school the bell rings:
The second lesson will now begin.
And here is the teacher, a strict lady:
- Open the books! Sit up straight!
And this board is square, black ...
And this is our nimble snail.
- The snail is in the classroom!
The rules were broken!
- Oh, she left a mark on the board!
- Yes, these are letters!
And the inscription is simple
Just two words:
"Save the whale"
And now everyone is running, the firemen are calling,
Kitu on the beach digging a pond
And they pour cool water on the back ...
But here comes the tide. It's time to leave.
The whole town shouted "Hurray!"
And she waved after the kids.
And they sailed to that distant land,
Where baby snails sit on a rock
And they shout, meeting a girlfriend:
- You've become very big!
And stories went here
About the distant seas
About corals, about stars
About birds, beasts,
And how a snail
Although small,
Keith saved the giant ...
And the whale said to them:
- Take your seats!
And they sat on the tail of the whale,
And they sang a song, and disappeared into the distance,
And the ships hummed after them for a long time.
