Songs

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!
