Петушок


Petushok

Petushok, petushok,
Zolotoy grebeshok!
Maslyana golovushka,
Sholkova borodushka!
Chto ty rano vstayesh',
Chto ty gromko poyosh',
Detkam spat' ne dayesh'?

Cockerel, cock,
Golden comb!
Oily little head,
Silky little beard!
What do you get up early,
What do you sing loudly,
Don't you keep kiddies from sleeping?
