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!

Im Winkel
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Russian (Русский) 
Ach du ein Unart! 
den Knaul mir verwühlt, die Nadeln verstreut, 
ach du! alle Maschen zertrennt!
Mit Tinte das Strickzeug bespritzt mir gar!
Pfui doch! Schäm dich! 
Marsch in'n Winkel! 
Unart!

"Ich habe nichts getan doch, Njanjuschka,
hab dein Strickzeug auch nicht mal angerührt!
Gespielt hat mit dem Knaul die Katze bloß,
und die Nadeln sind dabei herausgerutscht.
Doch Mischenka war artig ganz,
Mischenka hat nichts getan.
Nur Njanja ist ganz schlecht und dumm,
und Njanjas Nase ist ganz schmutzig auch;
Mischas Haare sind hübsch glatt gekämmt,
Njanjas Haube sitzt ihr immer schief.
Ohne Grund schilt Njanja Mischenka,
läßt ganz umsonst ihn im Winkel stehn:
Jetzt hat Mischa auch gar nicht mehr lieb seine Njanjuschka, siehst du!

From the Peters Edition of the Musorgsky score.
