совсем как огуречик
зелёненький он был.
Представьте себе, представьте себе -
Совсем как огуречик.
Представьте себе, представьте себе -
зелёненький он был.

A grasshopper was sitting in the grass
A grasshopper was sitting in the grass
Just like a little cucumber --
That's how green he was!
Imagine, imagine --
Just like a little cucumber
Imagine, imagine --
That's how green he was!

English summary of the rest:

He ate only grass,
He wouldn't harm even a beetle,
And made friends with the flies.
Imagine...

But along came a frog
And "Ms. Greedy Gut"
Gobbled up the grasshopper!
Imagine...

The grasshopper didn't think, didn't guess,
In no way did he expect, that
Things would end this way!
Imagine...
