Cheburashka's song
Once I tried to tranlate Cheburashka's song for little children. Does it sound well? Is it possible to shift word stresses in poems in English? Like here in "phenomEnal".
I used to be a strange toy
And neither girl nor boy
wanted to play with me
When they saw me
My name is Cheburashka
And every dog and cat now
Says hello to me
Every time we meet
I had a bad luck firstly
When even on my birthday
Nobody was there
And I was by myself
Now we're friends with Gena
He is just phenomenal
This crocodile is yet
The best I've ever met.

Cheburashka's song
Once I tried to tranlate Cheburashka's song for little children. Does it sound well? Is it possible to shift word stresses in poems in English? Like here in "phenomEnal".I used to be a strange toy
And neither girl nor boy
wanted to play with me
When they saw me
My name is Cheburashka
And every dog and cat now
Says hello to me
Every time we meet
I had bad luck at first
When even on my birthday
Nobody was there
And I was by myself
Now we're friends with Gena
He is just phenomenal
This crocodile is yet
The best I've ever met.
This poem seems to work well in English, I just modified one line to make it feel more natural. Well done!

I think you can say phenomEnal in a poem or song but, just to make it sound a bit better maybe you can say it ambiguously (like "phEnomEnal")

A massive thank you😊. You really helped a lot.

"I had bad luck, sad to say,
When even on my birthday ... " Oh, and really you'd be better with "Does it sound good?" Did you link to the song somewhere - does your English fit the line lengths of the melody ...? Ah, OK https://youtu.be/v_nPEGijDoQ
