Rățușca / The Duckling

The Duckling
1.There was a grumpy duck,
He sat on the lake all day
And as he passed by he cried out like this:
Mac! Mac!, Mac! Mac!
He was all alone,
No ducks followed him,
The water did not refresh him
Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac!
And the duckling searched,
He searched but did not find
The one he dreamed of.
Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac!
And whenever he passed by
The world heard him crying
And always crying like this
Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac!

Chorus:

This is not life
Always alone,
I don't have a duck either
Let her be my wife
Let me be her husband!

2.The whole pond knew him
And pitied him
But to no avail
Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac!
The fish were sacrificed
And they fed him with fish
So that he would be healthy.
Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac!
And the hermit haihiu
Flew out of his pity
To a distant forest.
Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac!
Only the grumpy duck
Alone remained on the lake
And cried incessantly:
Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac!

Chorus:

This is not life
Always alone,
I don't have a duck either
Let her be my wife
Let me be her husband!

3.But one day
Right on the lake in flight came
A duckling from the flock.
Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac!
The lake pleased him immensely
And if he looked from above
It seemed empty for a moment.
Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac!
Just a moment later
A duckling appeared clearly
Which quacked behind:
Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac:
And on his way towards her
Proudly the water splashed
And he came singing like this:
Mac! Mac! Mac! Mac!
