Tilim-bom

Stravinsky, Igor

Tilim-bom, tilim-bom

Ding-dong bell, ding-dong bell,

Zagorelsja kozij dom.

The goat-shed is on fire.

Koza vyskochila,

The nanny-goat leapt out,

Glaza vypuchila,

Her eyes on stalks,

Koza khvostikom trjasjot,

Wagging her little tail,

Pomogat' ljudej zovjot,

And asking people for help.

Kotik v kolokol zvonit,

Whilst the cat rings the bell,

Na pozhar bezhat' velit.

To summon people to the fire.

Tilim-bom, tilim-bom,

Ding-dong bell, ding-dong bell,

Vy spasajte kozij dom!

Save the goat-shed, if you can!

Bezhit kuritsja s vedrom,

The chicken comes running with a pail,

Zalivat' kozij dom.

To extinguish the goat-shed.

A za neju petushok,

Then comes the cockerel,

Zolotoj grebeshok,

With his gilded comb,

Tashchit lesenku,

Dragging a little latter,

Pojot pesenku.

And singing a little song.

Tilim-bom, tilim-bom,

Ding-dong bell, ding-dong bell,

My potushim kozij dom.

We'll put out the fire in the goat-shed.

Ljudi vyskochili,

The people leapt out,

Glaza vypuchili,

Their eyes on stalks,

Borodoju vse trjasut,

Shaking their beards,

Pomogat' koze begut,

And running to help the nanny-goat,

Ljudi v kolokol zvonjat,

The people ring the bell,

Za soboj bezhat' veljat.

Summoning people to follow them.

Tilim-bom, tilim-bom,

Ding-dong bell, ding-dong bell,

Polivajte kozij dom.

Pour water on the goat-shed.

A koza s kotikom kotom,

And nanny-goat and little cat,

S kuritsej, s petukhom

And chicken and cockerel too,

Na trave sidjat rjadkom,

Sit side by side upon the grass,

Pojut gromkim goloskom,

Singing at the top of their voices,

Tilim-bom, tilim-bom,

Ding-dong bell, ding-dong bell,

Potushili kozij dom.

We have saved the goat-shed!

Tilim-bom, tilim-bom,
