| Over in the meadow, in the sand, in the sun,
| В лузі, в піску, на сонці,
|
| Lived an old mother frog and her little froggy one.
| Жила-була стара жаба-мама та її маленьке жабеня.
|
| "Croak," said the mother,
| — Кряк, — сказала мати,
|
| "I croak," said the one so they croaked
| «Я каркаю», — сказав той, щоб вони каркали
|
| And they croaked in the sand, in the sun.
| І каркали вони на піску, на сонці.
|
| Over in the meadow, in the stream so blue,
| В лузі, в струмку такому синьому,
|
| Lived an old mother fish and her little fishes two.
| Жила собі стара рибка-мама і дві її рибки.
|
| "Swim," said the mother,
| — Пливи, — сказала мати,
|
| "We swim," said the two,
| — Ми пливемо, — сказали двоє,
|
| So they swam and they swam in the stream so blue.
| Так вони пливли та й пливли в струмку такі сині.
|
| Over in the meadow, on the branch of a tree,
| В лузі, на гілці дерева,
|
| Lived an old mother bird and her little birdies three.
| Жила-була стара пташка-мати і троє її пташечок.
|
| "Sing," said the mother,
| — Співай, — сказала мати,
|
| "We sing," said the three, so they sang,
| «Ми співаємо», - сказали троє, і заспівали,
|
| And they sang on the branch of the tree. | І співали на гілці дерева. |
