Good day, all!

How about a new theme? «A present for George». What would you present him? A good question.
I have recollected one Russian fairy tale … …

«Три девицы под окном
Пряли поздно вечерком.
“Кабы я была царица,-
Говорит одна девица,-
То на весь крещеный мир
Приготовила б я пир”.
- “Кабы я была царица,-
Говорит ее сестрица,-
То на весь бы мир одна
Наткала я полотна”.
- “Кабы я была царица,-
Третья молвила сестрица,-
Я б для батюшки-царя
Родила богатыря”.»
А.С.Пушкин ("Сказка о царе Салтане")

Now I shall try to translate … … … …

« Three maidens under a window
Spun late in the evening.
“If I was tsarina,-
One maiden speaks,-
That for the whole world
I would prepare for a feast ”.
- “If I was tsarina,-
Its sister speaks,-
That on would weigh the world one
Наткала I cloths ”.
- “If I was tsarina,-
The third said the sister,-
I for the father-reigning
Has given birth to a bogatyr ”.»
A.S.Pushkin (" the Fairy tale on tsar Saltane ")


How to you? And in general verse are not translated. I am sorry for my lyrics and for my English.

Best regards, Lana
