Жили у бабуси два веселых гуся
Один серый, другой белый, два веселых гуся.
Мыли гуси лапки в луже у канавки,
Один серый, другой белый, в луже у канавки.
А помыли лапки – спрятались от бабки,
Один серый, другой белый, спрятались от бабки.
"Ой, кричит бабуся, ой, пропали гуси!"
Один серый, другой белый, гуси мои гуси.
Выходили гуси, кланялись бабусе,
Один серый, другой белый, кланялись бабусе.
Two merry geese lived with Granny
One grey, the other white, two merry geese. (1)
The geese washed their feet in a pool
One grey, the other white, in a pool. (2)
When they were finished, they hid from Granny
One grey, the other white, hid from Granny. (3)
"Oh", Granny cries, "Oh, my geese are gone!"
One grey, the other white, the geese are gone!
The geese went out and bowed to Granny,
One grey, the other white, bowed to Granny. (4)
