Good Night with Russia Translation
Is it you who can’t sleep? What‘s wrong? It‘s such a warm and comfortable place, it‘s a shame not to sleep. Right? Oh, it’s not that you don’t want to sleep, it’s that sleep! So you want me to count sheep for you, right? Okay, then lie down. Huh? Why are you surprised? Maybe I thought you‘d refuse. Oh, it’s okay, I‘ll count them for you. I counted sheep once before, you know. I‘m pretty good at it, so don’t be shy. Okay, I‘m glad you‘d like me to. But since I‘m going to the trouble of counting sheep for you, if you don’t fall asleep at all…[kolkolkolkolkol] I‘ll force you to sleep, so try your best. Come on, hurry up and get better and cover yourself with a blanket. Everything‘s ready, isn’t it? Alright, let’s begin.
[music begins]
The 1st sheep
The 2nd sheep
The 3rd sheep
The 4th sheep
The 5th sheep
The 6th sheep
The 7th sheep
The 8th sheep
The 9th sheep
The 10th sheep
Hmm, it seems you can’t sleep with just 10 sheep. Let’s talk for a bit. What should I do? Well, how about I talk about the sheep I‘m counting now? When you think of sheep, you imagine them living in places like the house of the person in the spotlight or the house of England, in a moderate climate with lots of green grass, right? But you know, we have some at my house too! For example, there‘s a sheep called Romanov Sugisaki. He was born at my house, and he can survive even in the coldest lands. He’s a very strong sheep. At my house we call them shuba, and they’re often used for fur. They’re very warm. Even though they’re the same species of sheep, they can look completely different depending on the shepard, so it might be interesting to compare them, right?
Okay, let’s resume
Close your eyes…
[music begins]
The 11th sheep
The 12th sheep
The 13th sheep
The 14th sheep
The 15th sheep

The 18th sheep
The 19th sheep
The 20th sheep
Huh? Maybe I‘m getting sleepy. It‘s only 20 sheep so far. Huh? Is my counting of sheep that effective? Oh, I see, is it soothing that you want to hear it everyday? That makes me happy. Then why don’t you become my child? Then I can count sheep for you every day like this. You don’t have to be so reserved. I mean, in any case, everyone will be united with Russia, right? Well, I see, no way, that‘s a shame… but tell me if you change your mind. You‘ll always be welcome, so I‘ll count some more. This time I‘ll try a little harder, then.
The 21st sheep
The 22nd sheep

It‘s warm so you‘ll be able to sleep well. My house is pretty cold so I‘m jealous. That‘s right, come over to my house sometime. It‘s certainly cold but there‘s delicious borscht and it’s a nice place. I‘m sure you‘ll like it too. Awake? Hmm? Ah, it looks like you‘ve almost fell asleep. If we leave you like this, you‘ll probably fall into a deep sleep. But maybe if I stay here a little longer, I can count you ten more sheep. Alright?
The 31st sheep
The 32nd sheep
The 33rd sheep

Yes, you fell asleep very soundly. It looks so cozy, right?
[yawning]
I‘m starting to feel sleepy too...It‘s time for me to go to bed. See you soon and…goodnight!
