Thread: "Птичка" poem - could someone recite please?

Птичка летает, Птичка играет, Птичка поёт; Птичка летала, Птичка играла, Птички уж нет!

где же ты, Птичка? где ты, Певичка? В дальнем краю Гнёздышко вьёшь ты; Там и поёшь ты Песню свою.

thank you! im in olympiada training and i would really appreciate hearing this verbally so i can get enunciation right!

Гнёдышко

Гнёздышко

here it is

Dmitri, you are an artist! You should become a radio talk-show host!!!

beautiful beautiful!

thank you so much; even my teacher approves - and thats hard to get him to do.

you're welcome

hmm if i recite it that way with proper standing (face down until ready; feet together, hands at side) (which i plan to do) do you have any other suggestions? how to put more feeling into it?

perhaps...you need feathers?Lots of them and the canary costume of the bird...Where are this verses from? Is it so serious poem that you need all those postures - feet together and other? Make sorbe and sad face then and read slowly as you only can with tragic pulsing notes in your voice and tears in oyur eyes.

well, the olympiada is more than just language, they also judge you on your cultural knowledge and the poetry section can be considered how you recite the poem as a native speaker would. The closer the better.

You need a dance routine.

i have one actually...its the numa dance mixed with the night elf character males from WoW.

Could I have the translation for the text in English. Thanks.

The birdy flies, the birdy plays, the birdy sings;
the birdy flew, the birdy played, the birdy is gone!

Where are you, birdy? Where are you, little singer?
In the distant land you spin your nest; There you sing your song.

Thanks again Kwatts. It is so a nice poem.

If you wanna impress the jury, try to add some wicked expression

this is.. ...so... ..touching!! Птичку жалко!

You have read it very good!

птичка... где ты???

Why are you all crying, guys? There is no need to cry. Don't care about the dead bird. Birds come and go. You all know this! As for the poem per se, it's touching. That' right. I'd say - moving.

BTW, anyone know what movie the phrase Птичку жалко is from?

Черный ястреб??
