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. |
