Две мушки
Language: Russian (Русский)
Две крошечных мушки, я вижу, сидят
На тонком зеленом листке.
И прыгают обе вперед и назад,
Как шахматный конь на доске.
Прыг, скок!
Опять посидели чуть-чуть,
Как будто решили они отдохнуть.
Мне так любопытно ними следить
В заросшем травою саду:
Я думаю, учатся мушки ходить,
А может быть, ищут еду?
И бдруг…
И вдруг я увидел листок опустел,
А я ничего расспросить не успел!

I see two tiny flies, sitting
Language: English after the Russian (Русский)
I see two tiny flies, sitting
Upon a delicate green leaf.
And they both jump back and forth,
Like a knight on the chess board.
Jump, gallop!
Once again they sat a while,
As if they'd decided to rest.
I am so curious to watch them
In the grassy overgrown garden:
I think the flies are learning to walk,
And maybe they’re searching for food?
And suddenly…
And suddenly I saw the leaves were empty,
But I hadn't managed to ask about anything!
