By the Pike's Will

In a certain kingdom, in a certain country there lived a poor man called Yemelya. It didn't matter how much he worked — he had nothing.

It's cold. Why don't you bring some wood, Yemelya.

But how can I bring it, mother!

The Father-Tsar took away the last horse from us!

Well, then, Yemelya, go and fetch some water..

..we will have it instead of the soup.

The boisterous winds and the blizsards

Have pity for Yemelya

Angry frost and angry cold, don't let Yemelya freeze.

Please don't touch my patches

Please don't bite my heels

Angry frost and angry cold, don't let Yemelya freeze. Ah!

Ah!

Please don't go under my coat

Please don't bite my armpits

Angry frost and angry cold, don't let Yemelya freeze.

Please don't touch my poor patches, eh!

Please don't bite...

Pike! Aha! Gotcha, darling!

Let me go Yemelya, let me go!

No, I will not let you go!

My little children'll cry for me!

Well, if you have small kids, then swim on!

.. and I will make you happy for your whole life!

Ask for whatever you want!

What I want, uh... What I want!

I want my bucket to go into the house by itself!

And, ah! Ha-ha-ha!

Have it your way! Repeat after me:

By the pike's will..

..by my wish..

..the bucket..

..go into the house by yourself!

What a pike! You've done a great service!

Let me kiss you good-bye!

Did you see that! Ah!

Why did you, my dear mother, come out into the frost without a fur coat?

It's not good!

Why, Yemelya! What is...? shsh!

By the pike's will, by my wish..

Appear.. a fox fur coat and a silk shawl.

Ah! Mother, where are you?

I am here

In the same kingdom, in the same country, there lived a Tsar-the-Peas with his daughter Tsarevna-Never-a-Smile.

You don't give any food to the Tsar's daughter!

Tsarevna, taste the goose.

White-winged goose with apples and prunes!

It's so tasty! — It's so tasty!

I'm afraid! The goose will bite me, bite me!

But it's not alive, Tsarevna! — Yes, it is fried!

All the same, I'm afraid! It bites even when it's fried!

Tsarevna, taste the ice cream. It just melts in your mouth!

Oh, I'm cold! I'm cold!

Frost! Oh, I'm freezing! Oh, it's cold! Oh-oh-oh!

Oh, you've frozen me!

It's hot.

It's cold! Frost!

Tsar-the-Peas and his Tsar's men don't sleep, don't eat, they think about how to amuse Tsarevna-Never-a-Smile?

Oh.

It's my advice, Father-Tsar:

call a doctor for the Tsarevna from overseas.

There is one. There is!

By the name of Mix and by the surname Turk.

Is he a Turk?

He's not a Turk but the doctor Mix Turk.

Well, I say, prophetic kurk! Ah? — Yeah.

Turn out well, won't turn out well..

Father-Tsar give an order:

to send messengers to all four corners of the earth..

.. over the seas, over the oceans and over the giant mountains.

Let them declare you decree.

Whoever amuses and makes Tsarevna-Never-a-Smile laugh..

..the Tsar will give her in marriage to that man.

Ah? One-two! Ha-ha!

Turn out well, won't turn out well..

Let it be your way, general. Take this for your advice.

A silver ruble.

But for now it's our Tsar's thanks.

Hurray!

What a sledge, goes by itself! Goes by itself, without a horse!

The sledge goes, oh what a sledge! Rides me itself, without a horse!

What a wonder, wonder-wonder! It's not life, but paradise!

Get whatever, you require! — Wish whatever, you desire!

Whoa! We've arrived! Yep!

By the pike's will, by my wish..

..Come on, wood, saw yourself and put yourself onto the sledge.

What are you afraid of Bear? Come here, we'll make friends! Well?

Oh-oh-oh! Take it easy brother!

Are your kids hungry?

By the pike's will, by my wish..

..three barrels of honey appear here.

Hey good people..

Whoever amuses and makes Tsarevna-Never-a-Smile laugh..

..the Tsar will give her in marriage to that man.

They won't find fools to marry Tsarevna-Never-a-Smile!

The Tsar orders, the fools will come!

Well, you look for them, I have no time!

Come on, sledge, go home by yourself!

I'll show you!

Wait, fellow, wait! Get off! I'll show you sledge!

By pike's..

Forward! Where are you going? Go on! Whoa!

Oh, fellow, have mercy!

That's it! By the pike's will, by my wish..

I need you, fellow, you are the guy! Let's go to the Tsar, OK?

I've told you, I won't go!

If the Tsar needs me let him come to me!

I don't need him at all!

By pike's..

By pike's..

Good for you, Misha!

Is it cold for your kids?

By the pike's will, by my wish..

Fierce winter, become hot summer!

The suitors came from over the seas, from over the oceans, from over the giant mountains.

One-two!

Tsar-peas the lord of fleas!

Behind-the-River king, Behind-the-River prince,

Grand Prince of Bold Mountain, the king of the White and Black Rat..

.. Umm.. and so-forth and so-forth.

One-two.

Prince Gabriel Says.

Prince Gabriel says that Gabriel has a lot of strength..

..He can kill with one stroke fifty men and a dog.

Tary-bary, rastabary, tary-bary advibary...

His hands are like hooks, his teeth are like pike's, he can do, whatever he likes.

..and Prince-Gabriel's face is full of grace.

Tary-bary, rastabary, tary-bary advibary...

The fat-bellied-king and his nephews..

.. from the country of cakes and candies.

Take him out!

One-two.

Karl Karlovich Sprat.

He's perfect. — But small like a bat!

One-two.

Foreign guest Mohamed Akhat.

From a country where halva is found. — And nougat, uh, yes.

Tahu-wahu! I can't understand a thing!

Well, have any of you been taught to talk their overseas language?

I have been taught, Father-Tsar. — Me too.

Look, you're so nimble!

Well, translate what he was saying?

He, Tsar-father, was telling that he is a clever bird!

He can give answers to all the questions in a human language!

A! Well, say, small birdy what's your name? – to a parrot

My name is Polly (to change to usual English parrot's name).

Ah, my dear!

Well, what's his name?

Eroshka-a-Slave!

A what? Ah?

Open your eyes, turn your ears on!

Who's strangling whom?!

Oh, tiny cute bird!

Well, what's my name? A?

Tsar, Tsar.

Fool! Fool!.. Enemy! Enemy!..

Get out! Everyone's out! Together with the parrot, out!

Everyone's out of my Tsar's Palace!

Put them all on stakes!

Put them all on stakes! Hang them all!

Left, left, one-two!

I found it, I found it, I found it!

I found it, I found it, I found it!

Found what?

There is a man Yemelya in the village. Whatever he wishes comes true!

Indeed, he can make Tsarevna-Never-a-Smile laught!

Laugh? — Yeah.

But where is he? Bring him quick!

Why you didn't bring with you?

I was trying, and he doesn't want to come, he says..

..if the Tsar needs me..

..let he himself come to me..

..as for me, I don't need him!

A! Who does he think he is! General!

Bring this fellow Yemelya to me!

Glad to assist, Father-Tsar! One-two!

If you don't deliver him..

..then I'll hang and put on stakes you and all your slaves!

Many thanks for this your Tsar’s grace!

One-two.

Hooray!

By the sea, by the sea,

By the sea, the blue-blue sea.

The white swan is floating,

Oh with the small, small cygnets.

The white swan is floating

The white swan is floating

The water is swaying

Ah! À grey goat lived with an old woman

Once there was an old woman and a little grey goat.

Ah! That's how, that's how a little grey goat,

Ah! That's how, that's how an old woman!

A little grey goat went to the forest

Ah, to the forest to nibble green grass

Ah! That's how, that's how went to the forest

Ah! That's how, that's how to nibble green grass

The angry grey wolves... — Father sacred! Tsar's army!

..ate the little grey goat

Ah! That's how, that's how ate the little grey goat...

One-two, come on!

Go on!

Yemelya, open the door, open! Don't anger the Father-Tsar!

Whether you anger him or not, one damn!

One-two. Why are you Yemelya so stubborn!

You aren’t obedient to the Tsar's order! Wow! One-two! Ha-ha!

The Tsar’s decree isn’t written for me! — What?!

The Tsar is looking for a fool but Yemelya isn’t from the fool’s school!

I will not go to the Tsar!

Attention!

Stand still!

Giddy-up! Giddy-up!

The peaks on the edge!

Take the Yemelya by the attack!

Oh, I can’t take it anymore!

Oh, let my soul to go for it’s repentance!

Ha-ha-ha! You should have started to talk this way a long time ago!

Have mercy, Yemelya!

Can you see now whom are you dealing with?

I see...

Well, that’s it!

One-two!

Yemelya have mercy on us, come with us to the palace,

Well, okay, let's go so that they don’t put the innocent people on stakes!

How are we travelling?

One-two, left, left!

Ha-ha! You’ll go left, left but my legs are not state-owned!

Stand still!

Follow me!

Oh along the river, along Kazanka the grey duck swims.

Ah! Oh luli, oh luli, oh luli, oh luli, the grey duck swims.

On along the river bank, along ty, but along the steep the good fellow goes.

Ah! Oh luli, oh luli, oh luli, oh luli, the good fellow goes.

He talks himself with his curly locks, he talks with his locks.

Ah! Oh luli, oh luli, oh luli, oh luli, he talks with his locks.

So-so. Daughter! — A?

So your right eye crys more than the left one.

No not more! Not at all! Both eyes cry equally!

Who will brush my hair, who will brush my blond curly locks?

Ah! Oh luli, oh luli, oh luli, oh luli, will brush my blond curly locks.

A beautiful maiden, beautiful maiden will brush my blond curly locks.

Ah! Oh luli, oh luli, oh luli, oh luli, beautiful maiden will brush my blond curly locks.

She will brush and stroke them, she will lay each hair to it’s place.

Ah! Oh luli, oh luli, oh luli, oh luli, she will lay each hair to it’s place.

Well, look at me, daughter. Laugh a bit, please!

Well, what can you do with it!

One-two! Father-Tsar!

Tsar?

I'm not here!

I have the honor, one-two!

So Yemelya is you?

Yes, and who are you, huh?

I am the Tsar! Do not you see?

The Tsar.

You're so small, so tiny, hmm..

I'll touch you with my finger, you'll fall apart!

One-two, left, left, left.

Make the Tsarevna laught, but hurry!

All the same, I would not burst out laughing!

You won't laught? — No.

We shall see!

I will dance, but I will not laugh!

You will not? — I will not! — Yeah.

What a groom! — What a bridegroom!

Now it'll be the the trays, the ball and the wedding!

Women, you are mad! This fellow is not washed, not combed!

Well, how can I give the Tsarevna to him?

Get out! You're crazy or what?!

Now get out of my Tsar's Palace. Get out! Get out!

Get out!

Get out!

Yemelya, take me with you!

Well! Again she's crying like beluga!

Take me, Yemelya, with you!

What do I need such a crybaby for?

Hmm. I need a happy and hard-working wife!

But not the one who is good for nothing!

Yemelya, I won't cry!

I'll be happy, I'll be hard-working!

Well, if it is so! You'll be hard-working? — Yeah.

It's different then, get up to my feet!

Catch them up! Grab them! Hang them!

Put them all on stakes!

Catch them up! Catch them up! Hang them up! Oh!

The Tsar-the-Peas commanded his army to chase Yemelya and to bring him to the palace alive or dead.

Go, go, go! Move on, move on! Well!

You, Tsarevna-Never-a-Smile, you're so pretty, you've got stile.

Ah! You and me will be good friends, we'll have fun till the world ends.

I will not cry anymore, pools of tears'll spoil our floor.

Ah! You and me will be good friends, we'll have fun till the world ends.

On the bridge!

Horses, ride, fly like a dove, you're still behind my speedy stove.

Oh, ride, ride, fly like a dove! You won't catch us on our stove!

By the pike's will...

The stove.. go home and bring my mother here together with all the honest people.

Yemelya!

So hurry back!

What a beauty, Yemelya!

It would be nice if a lake would be here with the swans..

.. then we wouldn't want to go away from here!

By the pike's will..

Yemelya!

This is Maria, our bride!

Oh, What a beauty!

Let me kiss you, Maria!

Yemelya, where are we going to live?

There will be where to live!

My darling!

I was bored, I droped my tears and in vain I passed my time.

When you start to work, my dear, the whole life becomes such fun!

Count on me, my dear friend, be both happy to the end!

I will now swim away, to you, Yemelya, farewell!

At me hope, Falcon, and indeed you cannot make a mistake!

Oh, thank you! Oh, thank you! Marvelous, wonderful fish!

Glory to young couple! Bow to the bride!
