Original lyrics
В траве сидел кузнечик
В траве сидел кузнечик,
В траве сидел кузнечик,
Совсем как огуречик,
Зелёненький он был.
Представьте себе, представьте себе,
Совсем как огуречик.
Представьте себе, представьте себе,
Зелёненький он был.
Он ел одну лишь травку,
Он ел одну лишь травку,
Не трогал и козявку,
И с мухами дружил.
Представьте себе, представьте себе,
Не трогал и козявку.
Представьте себе, представьте себе,
И с мухами дружил.
Но вот пришла лягушка,
Но вот пришла лягушка,
Прожорливое брюшко,
И съела кузнеца.
Представьте себе, представьте себе,
Прожорливое брюшко.
Представьте себе, представьте себе,
И съела кузнеца.
Не думал, не гадал он,
Никак не ожидал он,
Никак не ожидал он
Такого вот конца.
Представьте себе, представьте себе,
Никак не ожидал он.
Представьте себе, представьте себе,
Такого вот конца.

Translation
A Grasshopper sat in the grass
A Grasshopper sat in the grass
A Grasshopper sat in the grass
And just like a Cucumber
He was so green
Imagine yourself, Imagine yourself
Just like a Cucumber
Imagine yourself, Imagine yourself
So green was he
He ate just one grass
He ate just the grass
He did not hurt a fly
And was friendly with flies
Imagine yourself, Imagine yourself
He did not hurt a fly
Imagine yourself, Imagine yourself
And was friendly with flies
But then came a frog
But then came a frog
With a hungry stomach
And swallowed the Grasshopper
Imagine yourself, Imagine yourself
With a hungry stomach
Imagine yourself, Imagine yourself
And swallowed the Grasshopper
He never thought, nor expected
He didn't expect at all
He didn't expect at all
To meet such a fate
Imagine yourself, Imagine yourself
He didn't expect at all
Imagine yourself, Imagine yourself
To meet such a fate
