Trang The Grasshopper (English cover) Cover version of the original Russian song "Grasshopper" by Trang, adapted for English-speaking audiences

On a sunny meadow bright
So glad he didn’t know why
Sat a little grasshopper light
With his knees the wrong way round!

Ai-yai-yai-yai! Oy-yoy-yoy-yoy!
Sat a little grasshopper with his knees the wrong way round!

Loved the sun and grapes so sweet
Himself so green and proud
What a lucky bug to meet
With his knees the wrong way round!

Ai-yai-yai-yai! Oy-yoy-yoy-yoy!
What a lucky bug to meet with his knees the wrong way round!

Found a girl — a precious find
Green and cheat-proof, sound
She was just his kind, you’ll find
Knees the wrong way round!

Ai-yai-yai-yai! Oy-yoy-yoy-yoy!
She was just his kind, you’ll find, knees the wrong way round!

Soon they had a dozen greens
Tiny hoppers all around
You could see what that gene means
Knees the wrong way round!

Ai-yai-yai-yai! Oy-yoy-yoy-yoy!
You could see what that gene means: knees the wrong way round!

But one day he hopped too far
The family wept aloud
To the graveyard — there they are
With his knees the RIGHT way round!

Ai-yai-yai-yai! Oy-yoy-yoy-yoy!
To the graveyard — there they are — with his knees the right way round!
