Коляда, караселка, (Kolyada, beautiful one,) Коляда, красная девка (Kolyada, red-haired girlie,) Коляда, не садись близко, (Kolyada, don’t sit so near,) Коляда, близко к дорожке (Kolyada, near to the road,) Коляда, возьмут тебя, (Kolyada, they will take you,) Коляда, повезут тебя (Kolyada, they will bring you,) Коляда, продадут тебя, (Kolyada, they will sell you,) Коляда, Коляда. (Kolyada, Kolyada.)

Ай, заинька, там река глубока, (Ay, little hare, that river there is deep,) А как на речке, на крутанке, (But how, to that steep river,) Едет миленький на палке; (Does the little one with a stick go;) Штаны рваные, худые, (His trousers torn and lean,) Ножки тонкие, кривые, (And his legs crooked and thin,) Ножки тонкие, кривые, (His legs crooked and thin,) Штаны рваные, худые (And his trousers torn and lean.)

Коляда, караселка, (Kolyada, beautiful one,) Коляда, красная девка (Kolyada, red-haired girlie,) Коляда, не садись близко, (Kolyada, don’t sit so near,) Коляда, близко к дорожке (Kolyada, near to the road,) Коляда возьмут тебя, (Kolyada, they will take you,) Коляда, повезут тебя (Kolyada, they will bring you,) Коляда, продадут тебя, (Kolyada, they will sell you,) Коляда, Коляда. (Kolyada, Kolyada.)

Коляда, будут ехать, (Kolyada, they will travel,) Коляда, купцы и боярцы (Kolyada, merchants and boyars,) Коляда, посадят тебя, (Kolyada, they’ll lock you up,) Коляда, в зелену карету (Kolyada, in a green carriage,) Коляда, продадут тебя, (Kolyada, they will sell you,) Коляда, за сто рублей, (Kolyada, for a hundred rubles,) Коляда, Коляда, (Kolyada, Kolyada,) Завтра мясо едят! (Tomorrow they’ll have meat!)

Three of my favourite scenes from Soviet Holmes...

The carriage ride. Of course. Seldom was there a more caring Holmes. And there's no actual reason for Watson to lean against Holmes like that. Other than for them to look adorable.

Watson gets angry at Milverton and Holmes can calm him with just a touch of their hands. And the way he instinctively grabs his hand.

And the third one is them reuniting after being apart during HOUN and it really depicts them being close. They miss each other and they're delighted to see each other.

This Holmes and this Watson are probably closer than any other pair.

now see it’s times like this I wonder if the original Russian sentence was different and can’t be translated properly because who says that. What kind of thing is that to say. What’s wrong with this guy
