Little bells. Innokentiy Annenskiy

Winter night. Little bells are telling
a story of a wedding to a traveler on a god-forsaken road.

Ding-ding-ding
Dini-dini…
Old-man Lado, old-man Lado
Lida set to Lado,
Lado set to Lida harder,
Were setting,  wasn’t set
Old-man Lado was upset.
One day they did it,
One day they didn't.
Nothing was completed
Had anyone beaten?
What the hell did he want?
That  thought came to haunt
Ding-ding-ding, dini-dini…
Little bells, little bells
Little fibber-babblers
Keeping gossip on and on
Further more and further more...
Resounded their sound, 
Little bells kept ringing around!
Babblers pop in,
Gabblers drop in,
Everyone was babbling,
Everyone was gabbling
Tongues oddly
Was broken down! Ding!
"Old-man’s look was funny
Without Old-man’s money!
Better with the money!
Come on, Lado, sonny"
Do you believe or not,
But Lida’d got a furred coat.
Was sleekly, was sickly,
Was strong-willed - was weak,
Drank a little, more were spilled,
Lida’d got another gift.
Aunts, Uncles, Mum, Dad
Were setting,  was set.
Wedding, wedding, drinking spree!
But she gave him no beer.
He had wished to be first in...
Oh, ding-ding-ding
Dini-ding,  dini-ding!
Old-man’s money sounded lovely,
But Old man himself was ugly.
Ding!
Just one day.
You’ve got a day.
How long sweet heart,
Whether you've got not enough?
You’ll get much more
Little whore,
Much more.
I’m guaranteeing. Ding!
Jingle-jingle-jingle-jynx
Saw with sadness all her dreams.
Jingle-jingle-little bells
Wished to have at home two days.
Just one day, only day.
Little bells, little bells
Little fibber-babblers!
Drank a much, were spilled a little,
They’d seek a baby sitter.
Little bells, little boys!
Babblers pull it out, noise!
Gabblers hand it out, joy!
Everyone was babbling,
Everyone was gabbling, ding!
Little bells, little bells
Little fibber-babblers!….



Глухая дорога. Колокольчик в зимнюю ночь
рассказывает путнику свадебную историю.

Динь-динь-динь,
Дини-дини...
Дидо Ладо, Дидо Ладо,
Лиду диду ладили,
Дида Лиде ладили,
Ладили, не сладили,
Диду надосадили.
День делали,
Да день не делали,
Дела не доделали,
Головы-то целы ли?
Ляду дида надо ли -
Диду баню задали.
Динь-динь-динь, дини-динь...
Колоколы-балаболы,
Колоколы-балаболы,
Накололи, намололи,
Дале боле, дале боле...
Накололи, намололи,
Колоколы-балаболы.
Лопотуньи налетали,
Болмоталы навязали,
Лопотали - хлопотали,
Лопотали, болмотали,
Лопоталы поломали.
Динь!
Ты бы, дид, не зёньками,
Ты бы, диду, деньгами...
Деньгами, деньгами...
Долго ли, не долго ли,
Лиде шубу завели...
Холили - не холили,
Волили - неволили,
Мало ль пили, боле лили,
Дида Ладу золотили.
Дяди ли, не дяди ли,
Ладили - наладили...
Ой, пила, пила, пила,
Диду пива не дала:
Диду Лиду надобе,
Ой, динь, динь, динь - дини, динь,
                дини, динь,
  Деньги дида милые,
  А усы-то сивые...
        Динь!
        День.
  Дан вам день...
  Долго ли вы там?
  Мало было вам?
      Вам?
      Дам
      По губам.
      По головам
         Дам.
Буби-буби-бубенцы-ли,
Мы ли ныли, вы ли ныли,
Бубенцы ли, бубенцы ли...
   День, дома бы день,
     День один...
Колоколы-балаболы,
Мало лили, боле пили,
Балаболы потупили...
Бубенцы-бубенчики,
Малые младенчики,
Болмоталы вынимали,
Лопоталы выдавали,
Лопотали, лопотали...
       Динь...
Колоколы-балаболы...
Колоколы-балаболы...
