This is a song from a short animation film called “Cheburashka and Crocodile Gena“ very popular in Russia. Cheburashka, a very cute character, appears later in the episode. Gena feels lonely on his birthday and sings to himself this song. My translation of the song in English is below. Enjoy this proof that Russians can make more heartwarming things than rockets and tanks.
Let pedestrians toddle
And the rainwater gurgle
As it streams underneath their feet
Let pedestrians wonder
Why this day full of thunder
Makes me look so jolly upbeat.
Look, I play my concertina
As they pass me on their way.
It would make me the total winner
If my birthday was EVERY day!
A magician, no whopper!
Shall alight his light blue chopper
And will do magic tricks for a laugh.
“Happy Birthday!” he’ll cheer
And, I hope, makes appear
Hundred Eskimo Pies with a puff.
Look, I play my concertina
As they pass me on their way.
It would make me the total winner
If my birthday was EVERY day!
