Who cries up-upa near our car?

Such a wonderful bird we see

In the hollow of the tree.

Кто кричит «Уп-упа»

В дупле дерева с утра?

Птичка с хохолком сидит

И на нас с тобой глядит.

•                         Haiku.

Hollow in the tree,

Hoopoe with crest flies in-

The sounds of strong wings.

Дупло дерева!

Удод с хохолком летит в-

Слышен шум крыльев.

•         Just right at my feet-

When did you happen to get here,

Little bird hoopoe?

Прямо у моих ног-

И как ты оказался здесь,

удод ?

through the hollow in the tree.

Hoopoe`s crest is seen.

Видно чудесное существо:

Сквозь дупло дерева
