Barmaley's Tale - Korney Chukovsky, read online
Little children!
For nothing in the world
Don't go to Africa,
Walk in Africa!
Sharks in Africa
Gorillas in Africa
Africa large
Evil crocodiles.
They will bite you,
Beat and offend -
Don't go kids,
Walk in Africa.
In Africa, a robber,
In Africa villain,
Africa is terrible
Bar-ma-lei!
He runs around Africa
And eats children -
Ugly, bad, greedy Barmaley!
And daddy and mommy
Sitting under a tree,
And daddy and mommy
Children are told:
"Africa is terrible,
Yes Yes Yes!
Africa is dangerous,
Yes Yes Yes!
Don't go to Africa,
Children, never!
But daddy and mommy fell asleep in the evening,
And Tanechka and Vanechka - run to Africa -
To Africa!
To Africa!
Walking along Africa.
Figs-dates are plucked -
Well, Africa!
That's Africa!
Riding a rhinoceros,
Ride a little -
Well, Africa!
That's Africa!
Elephants on the go
We played leapfrog -
Well, Africa!
That's Africa!
A gorilla came out to them,
The gorilla told them0003 The gorilla told them,
Sentenced:
“Won the shark Karakula
Opened her evil mouth.
You to the shark Karakula
Would you like to hit
Right in the mouth?
"Nam shark Karakula
Nothing, nothing,
We are Shark Karakul
Brick, brick,
We are Shark Karakul
Fist, fist!
We are Shark Karakul
Heels, heels!
Shark got scared
And drowned with fear -
Serve you, shark, serve you!
But here is a huge swamp
Hippo walks and roars,
He walks, he walks through the swamps
And roars loudly and menacingly.
Tanya and Vanya are laughing,
Hippo Belly Tickled:
"Well, the belly,
What a Belly -
Wonderful!”
I could not stand such an insult
Behemoth,
Ran for the pyramids
And roars.
Barmaleya, Barmaleya
Loud voice
Calling:
“Barmaley, Barmaley, Barmaley!
Come out, Barmaley, hurry up!
These nasty children, Barmaley,
Don't be sorry, Barmaley, don't be sorry!
Tanya-Vanya trembled -
Barmaley was seen.
He is walking in Africa,
Sings throughout Africa:
“I am bloodthirsty,
I am merciless,
I am an evil robber Barmaley!
And I don't need
No marmalade,
No chocolate,
And only small
(Yes, very small!) Children!”
He sparkles with terrible eyes,
He knocks with terrible teeth,
He lights a terrible fire,
He screams a terrible word:
"Karabas! Karabas!
I'll have lunch now!"
Children cry and sob,
Barmaley beg:
"Dear, dear Barmaley,
Have mercy on us,
Let go quickly
To our sweet mother!
We run away from mom
We will never be
And walk around Africa
Forever forget!
Sweet, sweet cannibal,
Have mercy on us,
We'll give you candy,
Tea with crackers!”
But the cannibal answered:
"No-o-o!!!"
And Tanya said to Vanya:
“Look, in an airplane
Someone is flying across the sky.
This is a doctor, this is a doctor,
Good Doctor Aibolit!
Good Doctor Aibolit
Runs up to Tanya-Van,
Tanya-Vanya hugs
And to the villain Barmaley,
Smiling, he says:
“Please, my dear,
My dear Barmaley,
Untie, release
Those little kids!"
But the villain Aibolit grabs
And throws Aibolit into the fire.
And it burns and screams Aibolit:
"Oh, it hurts! Ay, it hurts! Oh, it hurts!
And the poor children lie under the palm tree,
They look at Barmaley
And cry, and cry, and cry!
But because of the Nile
Gorilla is coming,
Gorilla is coming,
Crocodile leads!
Good Doctor Aibolit
Crocodile says:
"Well, please hurry
Swallow Barmaley,
To greedy Barmaley
Would not be enough,
Would not swallow
Those little kids!"
Turned around,
Smiled,
laughed
Crocodile
And villain
Barmaleya,
Like a fly,
Swallowed!
Happy, happy, happy, happy kids,
Danced, played around the fire:
“You are us,
You us
Saved from death,
You freed us.
You are a good hour
Saw us,
Oh kind
Crocodile!"
But in Crocodile's stomach
Dark, and cramped, and dull,
And in the stomach of the Crocodile
Sobs, cries Barmaley:
"Oh, I'll be kinder,
I love children!
Don't ruin me!
Spare me!
Oh, I will, I will, I will be kinder!
The children of Barmaley took pity,
Crocodile children say:
“If he really has become kinder,
Let him go back, please!
We will take Barmaley with us,
We'll take you to distant Leningrad!"
The crocodile nods his head,
Opens wide mouth -
And from there, smiling, Barmaley flies out,
And Barmaley's face is kinder and sweeter:
"How glad I am, how glad I am,
That I will go to Leningrad!”
Dancing, dancing Barmaley, Barmaley!
“I will, I will be kinder, yes, kinder!
I bake for children, for children
Pies and pretzels, pretzels!
Through the bazaars, through the bazaars
I will, I will walk!
I will be a gift, I will be a gift
I'm handing out pies,
Pretzels, rolls
Feed the kids.
A for Vanya
And for Tanya
Will be, I will have
Mint gingerbread!
Mint gingerbread,
Fragrant,
Surprisingly pleasant,
Come get it,
Don't pay a dime,
Because Barmaley
Likes small children,
Love, love, love, love
Loves little kids!
