by Samuil Yakovlevich Marschak (1887 - 1964)

Mel'nik, mal'čik i osël
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Mel'nik na oslike echal verchom.
Mal'čik za oslikom plelsja peškom.
- Gljan'-ka, - kričit iz okošek narod, -
Deduška edet, a mal'čik idet!
Gde ėto vidano, gde ėto slychano –
Deduška edet, a mal'čik idet!

Deduška bystro slezaet s sedla,
Vnuka sažaet verchom na osla.
- Iš' ty! – kričit iz okošek narod, -
Malen'kij edet, a staryj idet!
Gde ėto vidano, gde ėto slychano –
Malen'kij edet, a staryj idet!

Deduška s vnukom  sadjatsja vdvoem –
Oba na oslike edut verchom.
- Fu ty! – kričit iz okošek narod, –
Deda i vnuka skotina vezet!
Gde ėto vidano, gde ėto slychano –
Deda i vnuka skotina vezet!

Deduška s vnukom pletutsja peškom,
Oslik na deduške edet verchom.
- Fu ty! – kričit iz okošek narod, –
Staryj osel molodogo vezet!
Gde ėto vidano, gde ėto slychano –
Staryj osel molodogo vezet!
Staryj osel molodogo vezet!
