Little Fly So Sprightly (Muha-Tsokotukha)

Fly, oh fly, with your gilded belly, Across the fields, your pockets jingly. Found a coin, the fly did gleam, Off to market, chasing a dream. Bought herself a samovar so grand, "Come, cockroaches, join my stand! I'll serve you tea," she did declare, Roaches swarmed without a care. Fleas brought shoes, oh so fine, With golden clasps, a royal sign. A bee grandma came with honey sweet, "Beautiful butterfly, have a seat. Or perhaps our treat you shun? Tell us, is there something wrong?" Then came a villain, a spider old, Dragging her to a corner, cold. "Help, dear guests, don't let me die, Fight this spider, hear my cry!" But beetles and worms, they fled away, Cowards in the light of day. But a little mosquito flew so brave, With a tiny lantern, his soul to save. He swiftly struck, the villain's head fell, "I've freed you," he said, breaking the spell. Now the dance, the joy, the cheer, As the fly and mosquito draw near. The party goes on till morning light, For today, the fly takes flight, To wed the gallant, the brave mosquito, In joy and love, their hearts aglow. For today, the fly takes flight, To wed the gallant, the brave mosquito, In joy and love, their hearts aglow.
