Translation Taiga full of cedar nuts My winded taiga full of cedar nuts – If I wander around it, I will be satiated My nine-coloured livestock – If he raises them, I will be rich My twisted taiga full of small goats – If I turn around it, I will be satiated My multicoloured livestock – If he feeds them, I will be rich 2. When I have my high tayga, I am spirited When I have my high tayga, I am spirited When I have my grain, I am satiated When I have my Xemchik, I am proud When I have my flour, I am satiated E, my Xemchik My winded taiga full of cedar nuts – If I wander around it, I will be satiated My nine-coloured livestock – If he raises them, I will be satiated E, my Xemchik My twisted taiga full of small goats – If I turn around it, I will be satiated My multicoloured livestock – If he feeds them, I will be rich E, my Xemchik 10. Taiga full of cedar nuts My winded taiga full of cedar nuts – If I wander around it, I will be satiated My twisted taiga full of small goats – If I turn around it, I will be satiated
