by Leib Moiseyevich Kvitko (1890 - 1952)
Translation by S. Mikhailov

Поросята
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the Yiddish (יידיש) 
- Анна Ванна, наш отряд
Хочет видеть поросят.
Мы их не обидим,
Поглядим и выйдём. -

- Уходите со двора,
Лучше не просите.
Поросят купать пора,
После приходите. -

- Анна Ванна, наш отряд
Хочет видеть поросят
И потрогать спинки:
Много ли щетинки? -

- Уходите со двора,
Лучше не просите.
Поросятам спать пора,
После приходите. -

- Анна Ванна, наш отряд
Хочет видеть поросят. -
- Уходите со двора,
Потерпите до утра.

Мы уже фонарь зажгли,
Поросята спать легли. -
