nose?
Have a rest, give us a break,
Drop your sabers, knives and lances.
Better sing for our sake
And perform us a few dances.
Hey, Kartaus, old lad,
Why's your whisker so red?
And another question to pose:
Where'd you get so red a nose?
Get them!
Finist!
Finist.
Wake up, my beloved.
It's me, your bride, Alyonushka!
Look at me, my dear falcon.
What's the matter with you?
Don't you recognize me?
What is this?
They've put a spell over you!
Alyonushka?!
My beloved bride!
Master, Finist has been freed!
What?
What shall we do?
- Is Finist free?
- Is Finist free?
Take your cape, Finist,
with all my love.
It will protect you.
Alyonushka! Finist! Where are you?
Alyonushka!
Let's go, Alyonushka.
This way, hurry up!
Where're you, my dears?
- Let's run, Finist!
- You run, I'll delay them.
Gotcha!
Oh, hurry up!
Finist!
Let's run! Hurry!
Catch them!
Get them! Destroy them!
This way!
I can't show my back
to the enemy.
Take care of Alyonushka
while I settle a score with Kartaus.
Help us out, darlings!
Finist! Finist!
Watch out! It's Finist!
Hey, Kartaus!
Come out to a fair fight!
Let's see one on one
who is the strongest!
My trustworthy friend, you haven't
failed me at the time of trial.
Come on!
Come here!
Try to get up here!
The talisman!
The talisman!
I'm on the ground!
Oh, the sun! The flowers!
Agafon,
you shameless scoundrel!
Why did you fall down
without my permission?
Forgive me. Itjust happened.
Let's go home.
Don't be afraid,
I won't run away from you...
My darling!
That's the end of my fairy tale
about the real and unreal,
about a young lad and a young maiden,
about their love, great and unfading,
about the courage of the heroes
and our land so prodigious
that it gives birth to brave falcons!

There once Iived in a time Iong
gone by
in our viIIage smaII and simpIe
a pIoughman named Finist, a fine
feIIow,
strong and mighty, as no other man.
Lived he by the oId, kindIy ruIes,
being friends with aII
the neighbourhood,
aIways standing up for weaker ones,
heIping the poor in their misery.
His another friend was a faIcon,
a bird that Ioves its freedom most.
The brave faIcon fIew far and high,
taking in the whoIe Iand with his eye.
If there was coming our way
some caIamity,
the bird fIew at once
to Finist, to give a signaI:
WeII, watch out.
Stop, you deviIs!
What do you want, the horned ones?!
Go away!
Thank you, Hero,
for saving us from crueI captivity.
We were overrun by the enemy,
the hireIings of our foreign
foe Kartaus.
You must be tired after the battIe?
Drink some
coId spring water.
And your fatigue wiII vanish without
a trace.
Thank you.
WeII, my dear,
do you feeI stronger now?
Much stronger.
If I were to work now,
I wouId have pIoughed aII the Iand.
Go to town, son,
the Voivode is waiting for you there.
Defend our Iand.
It's time to hit the road.
MeanwhiIe over in the town
the voivode was readying for battIe.
He made a caII
to his worthy host,
and Ied his army
to the border outpost.
We're standing on guard of our
