Russian Poem

[theminion.livejournal.com]

I'm currently studying and trying to memorize a Russian poem for class.
I'd type the title, but I'm at the school's computer lab and Russian text isn't available.
That and I can't remember the full title.
Oodilvitilnia Koshka, I think that's a close phonetic.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find this poem in audio format.
Mostly for pronounciation purposes.
I know the poem is about a cat with an injured paw and it can't walk.
My Professor says that it's simple as well.

Do you need just the text?

Удивительная кошка

Несчастная кошка порезала лапу,
Сидит и ни шагу не может ступить.
Скорей, чтобы вылечить кошкину лапу,
Воздушные шарики надо купить!

И сразу столпился народ на дороге,
Шумит, и кричит, и на кошку глядит.
А кошка отчасти идет по дороге,
Отчасти по воздуху плавно летит!

I ment "do you have the text itself"?

Seems to be "Удивительная кошка" by Daniel Harms (Даниил Хармс):
http://briticat.ru/stihi/harms1.html
And I have no idea about audio format :-(

BTW: Russian "У" is usually written as "U" when one uses Latin.
i.e.
Udivitelnaia Koshka

Dear camrade! It's your voice, isn't is?

I tried to hire Vassily Livanov, but could not manage this so quick, so I had to do this myself ;-)

This record is cut too short, the last vord "летит!" is missing.

But, in general, good job!
And nice voice too. :)

>the last vord "летит!" is missing

That's strange. Must be some clipping along the way -- dunno where, there's nothing like this in the file I have.

[russian-bob.livejournal.com]

... I misspell word "word" :)

Yeah, it's probably because I played this file right from the net, without saving.

For reference, you might wanna read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transliteration_of_Russian_into_English on how to go Cyrillic<->Latin alphabets.

I typically use a semi-random mix of the above, provided context makes meaning clear.

Are there any websites for short little Russian poems like that? Most of the poems are big and too hard for me to understand. :-\

Try this (http://lukoshko.net/index.shtml) - a nice site with Russian poems and tales for children. In the left navigation column, there is Стихи для детей (poetry for children) section - all links there recommended.
