Текст песни Владимир Туриянский - Колыбельная

The moon dives like a yellow lamp
In soft night skies
Three white elephants doze in Africa
Birds sit on their ears.

Birds sit on elephant ears
And, of course, they sleep.
Only crocodiles do not sleep in the bushes,
quietly eating someone.

And beyond the Great Wall of China
Chinese uncles snore.
In the Yangtze River with a blue wave
Submarine boats are sleeping.

Gray boat with a red star
Sickle with a hammer on its side, -
The rosy sailors will come out in line,
Will tell the Chinese: "Ku-ku!"

There are many different miracles in the world,
You can't count it right away.
Somewhere on the street, a drunken dunce
The song began to shout ...

The moon dives like a yellow lamp
In soft night skies
Three white elephants doze in Africa
Birds hang on their ears ...
