Froggy Went a Courtin

У этой песни очень много вариаций на английском языке. Многие слышали эту вещь в видоизмененном исполнении дядюшки Пекоса (родной дядя Мышонка Джерри из м/ф).

Это детская песенка про лягуха, который надумал женится и поехал свататься.
Переводить эту вещь я не стал, но сделал эквиритм на тему нашей сказки про теремок.
Общий смысл в этих песенках примерно одинаков, но для наших детей теремок более на слуху.


Теремок (на мотив кантри)

Стоит в поле терем, теремок.
Он и не низок, ни высок.
Стоит терем в чистом поле,
На широком на просторе.
Стоит в поле терем, теремок.

Кто, кто в тереме живет?
Кто в невысоком тут живет?
Не найдется ли горбушки
Здесь для мышки для норушки,
У того, кто в тереме живет?

Стоит в поле терем, теремок.
Он и не низок, ни высок.
Стоит терем в чистом поле,
На широком на просторе.
Стоит в поле терем, теремок.

Кто, кто в тереме живет?
Кто в невысоком тут живет?
Не найдется ли кадушки
Для лягушки для квакушки,
У того, кто в тереме живет?

Стоит в поле терем, теремок.
Он и не низок, ни высок.
Стоит терем в чистом поле,
На широком на просторе.
Стоит в поле терем, теремок.

Кто, кто в тереме живет?
Кто в невысоком тут живет?
Не найдется ль кочерыжки
Для зайчишки для трусишки,
У того, кто в тереме живет?

Стоит в поле терем, теремок.
Он и не низок, ни высок.
Стоит терем в чистом поле,
На широком на просторе.
Стоит в поле терем, теремок.

Кто, кто в тереме живет?
Кто в невысоком тут живет?
Не найдется ли водички
Для лисички для сестрички?
У того, кто в тереме живет?

Стоит в поле терем, теремок.
Он и не низок, ни высок.
Стоит терем в чистом поле,
На широком на просторе.
Стоит в поле терем, теремок.

Кто, кто в тереме живет?
Кто в невысоком тут живет?
Даст приют ли старичку
Волку-серому бочку,
Тот, кто в тереме живет?

Стоит в поле терем, теремок.
Он и не низок, ни высок.
Стоит терем в чистом поле,
На широком на просторе.
Стоит в поле терем, теремок.

Кто, кто в тереме живет?
Кто в невысоком тут живет?
Прорычал лохматый мишка,
Сел на крышу и, всем крышка.
И теперь никто здесь не живет?
