In Denmark and In Russia
dedicated to Hans Christian Andersen
------------------------------------------------------------
He lived in Denmark many years ago.
He was the son of a shoemaker,
and he loved to dream very much.
His dreams turned into
magic fairy tales,
but no one wanted to understand them.
People laughed at the Story-Teller.
And they often teased him.
Now, when I am dreaming,
my dreams turn
into magical fairy tales.
But people laugh at this,
and often, they tease me
here in Russia.
