3. Колобок, колобок, я тебя съем! Не съешь, ...!
Я колобок, по амбару метен, по сусекам скребен,
Я от бабушки ушел, я от дедушки ушел, я от ... ушел,
И от тебя уйду!
Kolobok, Kolobok, I will eat you!
Don’t eat me!
I was scraped from the flour-box, and swept from the bin
And baked in the oven, and cooled on the sill.
I ran away from Grandpa, I ran away from Grandma,
And I'll run away from you (animal's name), this minute I will!
