- 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!
