by Samuil Yakovlevich Marschak (1887 - 1964)

Mel`nik, mal`chik i osyol
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Mel`nik na oslike exal verxom.
Mal`chik za oslikom plelsya peshkom.
- Glyan`-ka, - krichit iz okoshek narod, -
Dedushka edet, a mal`chik idet!
Gde e`to vidano, gde e`to sly'xano –
Dedushka edet, a mal`chik idet!

Dedushka by'stro slezaet s sedla,
Vnuka sazhaet verxom na osla.
- Ish` ty'! – krichit iz okoshek narod, -
Malen`kij edet, a stary'j idet!
Gde e`to vidano, gde e`to sly'xano –
Malen`kij edet, a stary'j idet!

Dedushka s vnukom  sadyatsya vdvoem –
Oba na oslike edut verxom.
- Fu ty'! – krichit iz okoshek narod, –
Deda i vnuka skotina vezet!
Gde e`to vidano, gde e`to sly'xano –
Deda i vnuka skotina vezet!

Dedushka s vnukom pletutsya peshkom,
Oslik na dedushke edet verxom.
- Fu ty'! – krichit iz okoshek narod, –
Stary'j osel molodogo vezet!
Gde e`to vidano, gde e`to sly'xano –
Stary'j osel molodogo vezet!
Stary'j osel molodogo vezet!
