У бабуси два весёлых гуся — один серый, другой белый. Очень простая песня с повторами.
A traditional children's song everybody in Russia knows: grandma has two merry geese, one grey and one white. Very short lines, lots of repetition — perfect first Russian song, and a painless way to meet colours and the past tense (жили).
