Nu, pogodi!

I could swear I did a post some earlier year not too far in the past about the Russian Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost) and Snegurochka (his grand-daughter), but I cannot find it.

I can, however, find this!

It's an excerpt from a Russian "Tom & Jerry" type show, except with a wolf and hare instead of cat and mouse, called "Nu pogodi," or "Just you wait." Nostalgia.

The lyrics are as follows:

Hare: Do tell Snegurochka, where have you been?
Do tell, darling, how are things?

Wolf: I've been running after you, Grandpa Frost, far and near!
And have shed a number of bitter tears!

Hare: A hey-ya, why don'tcha, come out and dance!

Wolf: No, Grandpa Frost, no, Grandpa Frost, no Grandpa Frost, just you wait!

Hare: The kids are awaiting my presents
And you will get yours from me, too

Wolf: Finally, all my dreams are coming true
My best ever present--why, that's you!

Hare: A hey-ya, why don'tcha, come out and dance!

Wolf: No, Grandpa Frost, no, Grandpa Frost, no Grandpa Frost, just you wait!

christmas, nostalgia, russia, new years
