| In a kingdom where everything is quiet and harmonious,
|
| Where there are no wars, no cataclysms, no storms,
|
| A huge wild boar appeared -
|
| Either a buffalo, or a bull, or a tour.
|
| The king himself suffered from stomach and asthma,
|
| Only a cough caused strong fear, -
|
| Meanwhile, a terrible beast
|
| Which he ate, and which he dragged into the forest.
|
| And the king immediately issued three decrees:
|
| "The beast must be defeated at last!
|
| Who despairs of this, of this,
|
| That princess will lead down the aisle."
|
| And in that desperate state -
|
| As you enter, so straight across -
|
| Lived in reckless longing and hussars
|
| Former best, but disgraced shooter.
|
| There were people and skins on the floor,
|
| They sang songs, drank honey - and then
|
| Troubadours blew their trumpets in the yard,
|
| Grab the arrow - and dragged to the palace.
|
| And the king coughed to him: "I will not
|
| I read morals to you, youngster, -
|
| Now, if tomorrow you win a miracle,
|
| Then you will lead the princess down the aisle.
|
| And the shooter: "What kind of award is this?!
|
| I would like to roll out a bucket of port wine!
|
| Like, I don’t need a princess for nothing, -
|
| Miracle-yudu, and so I will win!
|
| And the king: "Take the princess - and that's it!
|
| Otherwise, you once or twice - and in jail!
|
| After all, this is still a royal daughter! .. "
|
| And the shooter: "Well, for the life of me, I won't take it!"
|
| And while the king argued with him like that,
|
| Has already eaten almost all the women and chickens
|
| And hung around the palace itself
|
| This is either a bull, or a tour.
|
| There is nothing to do - he argued the port, -
|
| Miracle Yudu laid down - and ran away ...
|
| That's how the princess and the king disgraced
|
| Former best, but disgraced shooter. |
