Russian song for children – Hush you mice
Cat and mouse can be a friends but most often they are just enemies. This motive is frequently used to make children fun. Everyone of us remember those cartoon Tom & Jerry. The song I want to present today is also based on this. I have no idea why kids like mice. I think maybe it is because they are small and there are no negative associations with them. We adults thing of the plague etc. Kids just see furry little animals. Me I do not like mice to this day. But my friend George growing up had a hamster and I guess this is the same.
Hush You Mice!
Мыши водят хоровод
Hush you little mice! a cat is dreaming in the bad, Silent, mice, don’t make noices Don’t wake up the cat we call Vas’ka When he wakes up he bite you.
Мыши водят хоровод. На лежанке дремлет кот. Тише, мыши, не шумите, Кота Ваську не будите! Вот проснется Васька-кот Разобьет ваш хоровод.
Hush you mice!
Let me know if these Russian children’s songs are of any value to you? I think I will write my own Russian songs for kids as these are too short and are not enough. If you have any traditional Russian songs let me know. I need to build up my list.

Children's songs and lullabies and audio
I love this site. I am a librarian in West Virginia, USA. I offer programs for the chldren who come to our library. I have been working with the very young children (birth to 3 years old)doing Mother Goose nursery rhymes. I thought it would be fun to use nursery rhymes from other countries around the world. One of the countries I chose was Russia as I grew up in a very large Russian and Slavic community. I really like the way the rhymes are explained and the interesting things you suggest the children do while learning the rhymes. Oh, please consider adding audio. This is a wonderful site.
