This is a song originated in Winter in Prostokvashino, a Soviet cartoon from 1984. Russian lyrics: Кабы не было зимы В городах и сёлах Никогда б не знали мы Этих дней весёлых Не кружила б малышня Возле снежной бабы Не петляла бы лыжня Кабы, кабы, кабы... Не петляла бы лыжня Кабы, кабы, кабы... Кабы не было зимы В этом нет секрета От жары устали б мы Надоело б лето Не пришла бы к нам метель На денёк хотя бы И снегирь не сел на ель Кабы, кабы, кабы... И снегирь не сел на ель Кабы, кабы, кабы... Кабы не было зимы А всё время лето Мы б не знали кутерьмы Новогодней этой Не спешил бы Дед Мороз К нам через ухабы Лёд на речке не замёрз Кабы, кабы, кабы... Лёд на речке не замёрз Кабы, кабы, кабы... Кабы не было зимы В городах и сёлах Никогда б не знали мы Этих дней весёлых English lyrics: If there were no winter In our towns and cities We would never have known These jolly days The children would not be playing Around the snowmen And the ski-track would not twist If, if, if... And the ski-track would not twist If, if, if... If there were no winter It's no secret We would fade of heat We would be tired of summer The snowstorm would not come Not even for a day And the bullfinch wouldn't sit on the spruce If, if, if... And the bullfinch wouldn't sit on the spruce If, if, if... If there were no winter And if it were summer all the time We would not have known The New Year's mayhem Grandfather Frost would not have rushed To us the bumpy road The ice on the river wouldn't freeze If, if, if... The ice on the river wouldn't freeze If, if, if... If there were no winter In our towns and cities We would never have known These jolly days
