Po sledam bremenskikh muzykantov (1973) - full transcript

Sequel to the cult Russian animation Bremenskie muzykanty (1969)

I am the great detective

I take advice from none

I?ll even find a pimple

On a giant elephant

I do fight like a lion

I do work like a bee

My dog-like nose sniffs so fine

My eagle-eye can see.

My iron hand is dreadful

You?ll tremble and you?ll flee

And it?s completely futile



To hide away from me

More agile than a monkey

More mighty than a whale

My dog-like nose knows something

My eagle-eye can?t fail.

I?ve been to many places

I?m up to any task

Soon all your pretty faces

Are gonna be unmasked

I vanish in the twilight

I dive and swim so deep

My dog-like nose stands upright

My eagle-eye can peep

These days children are so selfish



There?s no way to keep them docile

We spend all our nerves on them

But they spit on it in return

Oh, she is so naughty, she ran from palace mad!

Oh, she is so naughty?she so upset her dad!

These days children are demanding

But they can?t be repremanded

They want song and dance till dawn

From parents they got too withdrawn

Oh, she is so naughty, she ran from palace mad!

Oh, sheis so naughty?she so upset her dad!

Children are indeed our penance

They?re a misbehaving menace

Since we bought them costly tutors

Still, without them life is stupor

Oh, she is so naughty, she ran from palace mad!

Oh, sheis so naughty?she so upset her dad!

Sun?s ray so pure and golden

Clouds trapped behind their shroud

And now this wall has stolen

That union we?d avowed

Night will pass, come morning bright and clear

Trust that happiness awaits us

Night will pass, will pass these times of fear

The sun shall then rise

The sun shall then rise

Birds ceased their song till morning

Stars touch our roofs with light

Through whirlwinds of our mourning

Do hear my voice tonight

Night will pass, come morning bright and clear

Trust that happiness awaits us

Night will pass, will pass these times of fear

The sun shall then rise

The sun shall then rise

Why, you are my little poor troubadummy child

How your figure has thinned out after all this while

Rest in comfort of your father and king

--I d o n o t w a n t a n y t h i n g!

Your hysterical condition is dangerous

Have a dietetic egg to encourage us

Maybe doctors can prescribe you a pill?

--T h i s i s q u i t e a g a i n s t m y w i l l!

Why, my princess drowned in sorrowful fantasies

Soon we?ll have ourselves musicians from overseas

Choose among them whom your heart may desire

--I d o n o t w a n t a n y, S i r e!

Perhaps we have no household of our own

But we don?t pay a dime to tax collectors

We?re laborers of knife as well as axe

Romantics always living on the road

We don?t want to live any other way

We don?t want to live any other way

We walk on the edge, we walk on the edge

We walk on our precious edge

We roam around from morning until dawn

Somebody else?s boots give our feet blisters

We?re laborers of knife as well as axe

Romantics living freely on the road

We don?t want to live any other way

We don?t want to live any other way

We walk on the edge, we walk on the edge

We walk on our precious edge

Our feet are licked by tongues of fire all night

Why don?t these touchy-feely people love us

Us laborers of knife as well as axe,

Romantics living freely on the road

We don't want to live any other way... We are walking on edge...

The whole world?s in our hands
We?re stars so well-reputed

And we will pulverize
Competitors and suitors

We came to you just for a bit
Privyet, Bon Jour, Hello

Now fall in love with us and quick
You?re in great luck, you know!

And now, my dears
Lend me your ears

And perhaps you?d better
Clap for us together

When we begin to sing
All eyes with joy do weep

And we already know
That things are meant to be

We came to you just for a bit
Privyet, Bon Jour, Hello

Now fall in love with us and quick
You?re in great luck, you know!

And now, my dears
Lend me your ears

And perhaps you?d better
Clap for us together

Rocka, rocka, rocka bye
Don?t sleep on the edge, good night

On the edge I always sleep
And no bad dreams ever creep

Rocka, rocka, rocka bye
Don?t sleep on the edge, good night

I can?t sleep next to the wall
My knees press 'cause I?m so tall

Think on edge I?ll lie
Don?t lie there!

Gonna sleep so nice
Don?t lie there!

Gonna make you cry
Don?t lie there, don?t lie there!

A grey wolf will come at night
And will take of you a bite

THE END
