| Over in the meadow, in the sand, in the sun,
| На лугу, на песке, на солнышке,
|
| Lived an old mother frog and her little froggy one.
| Жили-были старушка-лягушка и ее лягушонок.
|
| "Croak," said the mother,
| «Кряк, — сказала мать,
|
| "I croak," said the one so they croaked
| «Я хриплю», — сказал тот, что они хрипели
|
| And they croaked in the sand, in the sun.
| И каркали в песке, на солнце.
|
| Over in the meadow, in the stream so blue,
| На лугу, в синем ручье,
|
| Lived an old mother fish and her little fishes two.
| Жили-была старая рыбка-мама и две ее рыбки.
|
| "Swim," said the mother,
| «Плыви, — сказала мать, —
|
| "We swim," said the two,
| "Мы плаваем," сказали двое,
|
| So they swam and they swam in the stream so blue.
| Так они плыли, и они плыли в таком синем потоке.
|
| Over in the meadow, on the branch of a tree,
| На лугу, на ветке дерева,
|
| Lived an old mother bird and her little birdies three.
| Жила-была старушка-птица и три ее пташки.
|
| "Sing," said the mother,
| "Пой," сказала мать,
|
| "We sing," said the three, so they sang,
| «Мы поем», — сказали трое, и они запели,
|
| And they sang on the branch of the tree. | И они пели на ветке дерева. |
