And ask for your dream
To come true.
And the New Year
that's about to arrive,
Will make your
dream come true,
lfthe snowflake
doesn't melt,
lf it doesn't melt
in your palm,
When the clock strikes 12,
When the clock strikes 12!
When the New Year
enters your home,
And the old year
goes away,
Any dream can
come true,
lt's that magic night!
And everything
will go quiet
On the threshold
ofthe New year,
And the snowflake
in your palm
Can turn
into a firebird.
Then the New Year
that's about to come,
Will make your
dream come true,
lfthe snowflake
doesn't melt,
lf it doesn't melt
in your palm,
When the clock strikes 12,
When the clock strikes 12!
l seem to like
this young man.
-On this point we disagree.
-Yes, we disagree.
When the clock strikes 12,
When the clock strikes 12!
-You didn't like it?
-No, it was very nice.
And you were just wonderful!
No! You'd better kiss him,
please.
He came up with
all this!
And he wrote this song!
Don't kiss me, kiss him,
please!
What? You can't do this!
Mr Kamneyedov, wake up
and reestablish some order.
l'm not asleep! Everyone -
back to your places!
Performers, sing a song!
Everyone can go now.
We'll inform you
of our decision.
All employees - back to
your work places.
lt was awful! The kid's
been taught to sing!
l think we should ask them
to sing at tomorrow's ball.
After all that's happened?!
And what has happened? Have
you noticed anything, Alyona?
l can't see why a little
girl's naive gesture
caused such a reaction.
She doesn't know! But we know!
We should kick them out!
Kicking is too lenient!
Apollon Mitrofanovich!
Engage them for the ball
and provide everything.
What's the matter, dear?
You invited them here.
l repeat: you all can go.
-We must talk.
-Alright, let's go.
-We must talk.
-Ok.
Be careful,
the steps.
You're breaking my heart,
you charmer.
-The way he was eyeing you!
-What a way to put it!
lt's because l'm nervous.
Many people look at me.
But you were looking
back at him.
There's something
attractive about him.
-What is it?
-l'll tell you later.
He's a scoundrel,
and his legs are crooked.
Ok, his legs are not crooked,
but he's unworthy ofyou!
That's different.
My charmer!
Alright, l'll be your
wife.
But first you must meet
certain terms.
l'll do anything!
First, l want to be deputy
director for research.
But, my goddess, what about
Kivrin?
l don't care about Kivrin.
You are right.
And in the future, my
and your transfer to Moscow.
-ls that clear?
-Yes.
Your hand,
my precious.
Not so fast, l'm not through.
l'll tell you what l liked
about that young man.
His youth!
l want you
to be young.
At least, in appearance.
But youth never returns.
You must do the impossible.
Take the advice
ofthe Hunchback horse.
My goodness! Take a book
offairy-tales, open it,
it's all there in plain
language.
Maybe, with a view to
our future relations,
you could give me some
potion or witch's water?
-You think l'm a witch?
-Naturally!
-Not only de jure, but de facto?
-Why, yes, yes.
-You aren't afraid?
-Just the opposite.
That's the thing l find
most attractive.
So, you'll have your witch,
and your witch's water.
Women always want to be
how men want to see.
But l must warn you!
There's a devil's stone
standing on Bald hill,
There's a witch's river
flowing from under that stone,
And though that water
looks crystal clear,
Don't ever try
drinking it.
ln the heat or cold,
Stay clear of all evil,
Don't ever drink water
from that damned river!
Nettles and burdocks
Hide it from the sun,
Better not drink
that damned water!
Birds don't sing
and reeds don't grow there,
Only in spring goats
go there to drink.
They come to the river-bank
and drink that water,
And their horns
grow longer and longer.
ln the heat or cold,
Stay clear of all evil,
Don't ever drink water
from that damned river!
Nettles and burdocks
Hide it from the sun,
Better
