Choir of evil spirits (female and male)
The day ends.
Choir (female)
How nice it is for us to rest here at the edge of the forest. People bypass the hut of the old witch.
Choir (female and male)
The clatter of axes and the squeal of saws are not heard in these places. Grace is here for animals and birds - there are no killer poachers!
Choir (male)
We are called evil spirits by those who are ready to pollute the whole world. Our reason is not clouded by hubris. Greed and envy are not ours.
Choir (female)
The sun is shining for us, it warms our souls.
Simultaneously:
Choir (female)
A gentle breeze brings freshness to us.
Choir (male)
A gentle wind brings freshness to us.
Choir (female and male)
We are drawn to nature. We see beauty in flowers, white-trunk birches, in mighty pines and oaks. We are nature's children. This world is dear to us, and we do not want to lose it.
Choir (male)
Hush! Hush!
Choir (female)
The wind carries the Russian spirit.
Choir (male)
A guest from people comes to us.
Choir (female and male))
Who dared to visit the old witch at such a late hour?
Choir (male)
As he hurries, and is not afraid of evil spirits that wander in these wild places.
Choir (female)
Maybe the traveler got lost.
Choir (male)
Maybe so, but, most likely, it was the devil who beguiled him! Confused all the paths.
Old witch
Why are you so glum again?
What′s the reason, who′s to blame?
Are the Spaniards too pugnacious?
Do the French lay any claim?
Here′s a mould drink I have made,
Take a gulp, don′t be afraid.
It will help you to forget
All the cares of life, I bet!
Though it‘s out of the way,
It will cool you anyway,
You′ll be healthy by tomorrow
If only...
Choir (female and male)
If only...
Old witch
you do not die today!
General
It′s the soldier-man again,
He has caused me so much pain!
That′s the reason why I′m ailing,
And I′m suffering from strain.
The bloody scoundrel′s so clever!
He has fooled me! Well I never!
All your magic was in vain,
He got the carpet all the same!
Though he doesn′t seem so bright,
He has got a keen mind!
Next time, when you do your magic,
Try to do it damn right!
Choir (male)
Show your witchcraft skills.
Old witch
Magic, magic, you know what,
Three are here, yours are not,
Ace of diamonds, oaken coffin,
Tell me all about Fedot!...
Choir (female and male)
Ace of diamonds, oaken coffin,
Tell her all about Fedot!..
Look, the vision is there.
We have to admit that you can do magic.
You have amused us at this hour before sunset.
How to interpret the vision.
What should find Fedot?
Isn't it time to find out.
Old witch
Ah-a, mm-mm... To my calls
I′ve got the following response:
Let him search and find a deer
With the branch of golden horns.
There′s nowhere in the world
Such a deer, take my word!
I can tell you that for sure
As a naturalist, my lord!
Choir (female and male)
Now everything became clear.
The search will be in vain.
General and Chorus (female and male)
He can't find a deer. No!
General and the old witch
Let him look for a deer with golden antlers!
Go around the whole world,
but there are no such deer in nature!
