Three Wise Men of Gotham

 




Three wise men of Gotham
Went to sea in a bowl;
And if the bowl had been stronger,
My song would have been longer.



Три мудреца из Готама
Поплыли в миске в море.
Будь миска бы
Попрочнее,
Моя песня была бы
Длиннее.

Natasha Brown


Три храбреца в одном тазу

Пустились по морю в грозу.
Будь попрочнее
Старый таз,
Длиннее
Был бы наш рассказ.

Самуил Яковлевич Маршак
