В углу

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: ENG FRE LIT

Ах ты проказник!
Клубок размотал, прутки растерял,
Ах ты! все петли спустил!
Чулок весь забрызгал чернилами!
В угол! В угол!
Пошёл в угол!
Проказник!

Я ничего не сделал, нянюшка,
Я чулочек не трогал, нянюшка!
Клубочек размотал котёночек,
И пруточки разбросал котёночек,
А Мишенька был паинька,
Мишенька был умница.
А няня злая, старая,
у няни носик то запачканный.
Миша чистенький, причесанный,
А у няни чепчик на боку.
Няня Мишеньку обидела,
напрасно в угол поставила
Миша больше не будет любить свою нянюшку, вот что!

Ah ! tu es un chenapan !
Ma pelote est défaite, mes aiguilles sont perdues,
Ah, toi ! la bobine est déroulée,
Les chaussettes sont tout éclaboussées d'encre !
Au coin ! Au coin !
Va au coin !
Chenapan !

Je n'ai rien fait, Nounou,
Je n'ai pas touché aux chaussettes, Nounou !
C'est Globule, le chat, qui l'a déroulé,
Et les aiguilles sont parties
Mais Michenka est gentil,
Michenka est un bon garçon.
Mais Nounou est en colère, bien vieille,
Et le nez de Nounou est sale.
Micha est propre, bien coiffé,
Le chapeau de Nounou est de travers,
Cela ne sert à rien de l'envoyer au coin,
Micha n'aimera plus sa Nounou, voilà !
