This is a song from a short animation film called "Cheburashka and Crocodile Gena", which is very popular in Russia. Cheburashka, a cute little character, appears later in the episode. Gena feels lonely on his birthday and sings to himself this song. My (versed and literal ) translations of the song are below. Enjoy this proof that Russians can make more heartwarming things than rockets and tanks.
Poetic (versed and metered) translation
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!
Literal (no verse or meter) translation
Run awkwardly,
Pedestrians over puddles,
As rainwater runs a river
On the pavement.
And it is not clear for the passerby
Why I am so merry
On on this rainy day
Well, I play my concertina
In front of the passerby.
Regretfully, my birthday
is only once a year!
All of a sudden, on a light-blue helicopter
A magician will alight
And will show a movie for free!
He will congratulate me with my Birthday
And, maybe, will leave me a present
Of five hundred eskimo pies!
Well, I play my concertina
In front of the passerby.
Regretfully, my birthday
is only once a year!
