| Fringed with steppe,
|
| Substituting the goiter for the hissing river,
|
| Yar green-gold
|
| He leaned his shoulder against the prickly thicket.
|
| And every time the snowdrifts
|
| Blows off the old heat with a chok,
|
| Tired soil cut seedlings,
|
| To vile to strike at us.
|
| From the husk, from the scales, from the hairy gut
|
| Suddenly, muscular and evil seeds come out.
|
| Creaking fruit shell, in aleurone armor -
|
| They stray into order and prepare for an unprecedented war.
|
| And immediately the inhabitants of the villages,
|
| Local sleepy villages, forest buildings,
|
| Seeing the onset of plant seeds,
|
| So that there is no corruption and possible mortification,
|
| Hosts send notifications,
|
| Like, barley is coming at us!
|
| Here, abruptly kicking down the door,
|
| Barley towards the bearded miller
|
| With millstones and hands of mighty pines,
|
| Weighing each centners of eight.
|
| That's who will save his native village,
|
| Who is not afraid of anything at all
|
| The one who from year to year, as the ice falls,
|
| The people are happy with their distance.
|
| Demin, mad and black. |
| Evil, like a stump,
|
| It turns out to beat the barley.
|
| Old Demin-miller
|
| For your village
|
| The fight will start dashing:
|
| So that the grains become hot.
|
| The auk screams, the huts creak,
|
| A gray-haired sheepdog sweats in the grass.
|
| “Children in an armful,” grandmothers cackle;
|
| Rubbing rags,
|
| The cellars are shaking chilly.
|
| But interest takes its toll
|
| And all the people are watching through the shutters,
|
| As a man on a dusty street leads
|
| War to the death not on the stomach
|
| And beats grain with millstones.
|
| Although the sweat is streaming from the forehead,
|
| He does not give up and yells:
|
| "So you know
|
| The old miller Demin is not afraid of completely muscular grains.
|
| He beats with millstones, drives him into the forest, exactly as his father taught him to do.”
|
| There in the forest behind the hillock between the bushes
|
| The ancient stream turns the wheel.
|
| For a thousand years it has not stopped singing,
|
| Barley predicting death as soon as possible.
|
| Demin Crazy and black.
|
| Evil, like a stump, comes out to beat the barley.
|
| Old Demin the miller for his village
|
| The battle will start dashing: To make the grains hot.
|
| And every year the strong man gave the grain a resolute rebuff -
|
| But this summer, the evil cereal is somehow especially cunning.
|
| The insidious enemy decided to stop the stream on the stream,
|
| Having persuaded this extravagant to sabotage
|
| driftwood population.
|
| The mill fell silent then: it is not moved by water.
|
| Helpless drive grain will not do harm.
|
| And the brave miller is exhausted and barely waves his millstone.
|
| Barley beats victory in cymbals -
|
| The old warrior is doomed.
|
| But barley did not know that in ancient times
|
| The beaver clan and the millers made a pact -
|
| And in minute X the third beaver platoon
|
| He gave the order to gnaw through the driftwood.
|
| Everything, you, barley, will receive in full!
|
| A curled wave will wash away the enemies,
|
| And those who remain on the shore,
|
| It will quickly grind into flour dust.
|
| Demin is mad and black.
|
| Evil, like a stump, comes out to beat the barley.
|
| Old Demin the miller for his village
|
| The battle will start dashing: so that the grains become hot. |
