Little Red Riding Hood song translation
I am trying to translate this song from this Russian video but having trouble...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4wZx86Hhqs&list=PL71D7E12DDE0EF3C7
If a long, long, long,
If you long for a footpath
If you long for the track
Stomp, ride and run -
That, perhaps, then, of course,
That, perhaps, true-true,
It is possible, can-can
You can come to Africa!
*****
Ah, Africa's river so wide,
Ah, here's the mountain in Africa so high, and
Ah, crocodiles - hippos,
Oh, the monkeys - sperm whales,
Oh - and a green parrot!
Oh - and a green parrot!
*****
And once - just - just
And once on the track,
And once on the path
I meet someone
That is the one whom I meet,
Even the beast-believe-believe
Do not forget, I will, I will
I will say hello!
*****
Oh, hello River's so wide,
Oh, hello mountains here are so high, and
Ah, crocodiles - hippos,
Oh, the monkeys - sperm whales,
Oh - and a green parrot!
Oh - and a green parrot!
*****
But, of course, but, of course,
If you're so lazy,
If you're so shy -
Stay at home, do not walk!
Not what you road
Hillsides, mountains, mountains,
Gullies, river-crabs -
Take care of your hands and feet!
*****
Why do you have the sea here is so wide,
Why do you have here is a sky high, and
Ah, crocodiles - hippos,
Oh, the monkeys - sperm whales,
Oh - and a green parrot!
Oh - and a green parrot!

What exactly does confuse you? It is just a song for children, there is no logic or much sence in it. :)
