Possible to get a translation please?

Could someone be so kind as to translate this into english?

U lukomor'ya dub zeleniy, zlataya cep' na dube(dabe? not sure, my handwriting is sloppy ) tom i dnem i noch'u kot ucheniy vse xodit po cepi krugom poydet na levo pesn'zavodit, na pravo skazku govorit.

tam chudesa, tam leshiy brodit.

Also, could someone translate this word:

parixmaxerskaya

I have a friend from here that I usually email these sorts of question to, but this one seemed like an awfull big translation and I didn't wanna drop it in her lap

Thanks to whoever takes on the job!

Hi..I have asked my wife to translate and here is her answer:-

Hmmm - it is not easy! It is beginning of one poem of famous Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. So, to translate him - it is like translating Shakespeare Well, I'll try:

At a curved seashore there is an oak tree,
a golden chain is on that oak,
and day and night a wise cat
all goes on the chain around.
he goes on the right - sings a song,
on left - speaks a fairy tale.
There are miracles, there leshyi(1) wanders,
the Mermaid sits on branches.

1 - leshyi is a fairy tale creature, which lives in forest, something between troll and ogre.

And another:
parikmaherskaya (sorry, but pariXmaXerskaya is not correct spelling)- hairdressing saloon, from parik ( wig )

Ah! Thank you very much, and please let your wife know I thank her also

One more if I may? It's supposed to be a childrens song.

Oblaka, belogrivie lashadki......
oblaka chto vi mnchites'be z ogliadki
Ne smotrite vi pojaluysta s visoka,
a po nebu prokatite nas oblaka.

It's a song fron a cartoon, about clouds - very nice, naive and kind. The
singers are friends: Teddy Bear and The Hedgehog, they are comparing clouds
with white horses and ask them not to look down from the high, but to give
them a ride on the sky. And then they of course ride on the clouds by sky
hurrying to present flowers (camomiles) to Rubbit's birthday.

I really miss this kind of cartoons - which teach you to be kind, to believe
that there is nothing impossible and any dream can come true.

It is so sad that children here surrounded by other sort of TV which teach
them to be more egoistic and aggressive ... I think, it makes sence to
translate the best Russian (Soviet) cartoon to rase good , kind children.
Japane is ahead already - our Cheburashka ( very famous funny cartoon's
character) is very popular there!

article about it. Enjoy!

Gypsy, did your girlfriend teach you that?

Here is the abridged version:

http://www.sunbirds.com/lacquer/readings/1216

An oak tree greening by the ocean;
A golden chain about it wound:
Whereon a learned cat, in motion
Both day and night, will walk around;
On walking left, he tells a lay.

A magic place: there wends his way
The woodsprite, there's a mermaid sitting
In branches, there on trails past knowing
Are tracks of beast you never met;
On chicken feet a hut is set
With neither door nor window showing.
There wood and dale with wonders teem;
At dawn of day the breakers stream
Upon the bare and barren lea,
And thirty handsome armored heroes
File from the waters' shining mirrors,
With them their Usher from the Sea.
There glimpse a prince, and in his slave;
Alot, before the people massing,
Across the wood, across the wave,
A warlock bears a warrior brave;
See Baba-Yaga's mortar glide
All of itself, with her astride.
There droops Kashey, on treasure bent;
There's Russia's spirit... Russian scent!
And there I stayed, and drank of mead;
That oak tree greening by the shore
I sat beneath, and of his lore
The learned cat would chant and read.
One tale of these I kept in mind,
And tell it now to all my kind...
