(chant for the burning of the Maslenitsa effigy)

On Maslenitsa I eat pancakes, the pancakes may still have not completely cooled down in that pan, But don’t let this bother you anymore, I’ll eat them with appetite even without you. I eat pancakes so sincerely and tenderly, I have been starving for so long. I will eat pancakes silently, hopelessly. I would rather choke, but not give it to others.

Lyrics of modern songs about Maslenitsa for children
*** We greet Spring with crispy pancakes, we burn the effigy of Winter, we sing in a round dance.
Hello, dear Spring, We are neighbors with you. Hello, Red Spring, We greet you! Hello, Red Spring, We welcome you!
We will glorify Spring with fragrant pancakes. Everything in nature comes to life, the cunning sun blinks.
I'll warm you up more - A stream will run down the mountain. I will rise higher, Hello, Red Spring! I will rise higher, Hello, Red Spring!
*** My girlfriend and I were invited to a fun holiday. We took part in quizzes and crossword puzzles. And when we got hungry, what did we see? How did your favorite pancakes appear on sale?
Chorus: Pancakes, pancakes, good pancakes Pancakes, pancakes, nice pancakes Pancakes, pancakes, golden pancakes With butter, honey and strawberries, and even with bananas.
I remembered this day with my girlfriend. Time flew by quickly, we were not bored. And we really liked everything about this holiday. Because they sold pancakes and butter.
Chorus.
We led round dances, played streams, accordionists played merrily for the people, everyone looked at the tables and clapped their hands, and when they finished playing, they devoured all the pancakes.
Chorus.
*** Oh, the girls went, they found Piglet. They made a wish, threw it, the wind clouds disappeared. Sparrows, rooks - The sun came out of the oven, It melted, it got hot, The bad weather carried away.
Grandfather, get up from the stove, and be silent, don’t grumble. Place the dough on bricks and bake some rolls. Let's invite guests from all the volosts, don't spare the oil, there will be a lot of people.
Spring is coming, bringing warmth. A ray of sun appeared from behind the winter clouds. It’s beautiful in spring and bright in winter. This square is crowded. All the kids have gathered.
The pancakes are delicious, the Kalachis are good. The girls dance in a round dance right at the gates, the name is Maslenitsa, Beauty. Come and stay. We will love you.
Maslenitsa, you are beautiful (repeat 4 times) Say goodbye to winter, goodbye.
*** From time immemorial there has been such a ritual, It is still observed: In order to quickly meet spring, Maslenitsa day is appointed. Only the month of March will be at the gates, And a cheerful holiday is calling. We will eat pancakes with butter to hasten the arrival of spring.
Chorus. Maslenitsa, Maslenitsa, Look how hard they are trying for you! Maslenitsa, Maslenitsa, you and I have fun walking! Maslenitsa, Maslenitsa, You are a gift of spring and a mischief-maker! Maslenitsa, Maslenitsa, Spring is in no hurry, just teasing.
And while the snow has not yet melted, everyone can ride down the hill, and then, to the general cheerful laughter, climb up the pillars. There's a rooster sitting on the top, Too high, it's breathtaking! It’s better that we take a pancake and all sing together merrily.
Chorus.
To prevent February from returning again, the Effigy of Winter must be set on fire. The fire will drive away the cold, Maslenitsa should help us!
Chorus.

Oh, my pancakes, my pancakes, you, my pancakes. I baked pancakes on four sides. Nobody takes pancakes, Nobody takes them for free. Only the gray pig sniffed and passed. A fire is burning across the river, The pig's stomach hurts. Across the river the fire went out, and the pig's belly was swollen. My heart and liver hurt, A girl lives across the river. If only there was a boat, I would move there. Rita-rita-rita-ta, A cat married a cat. For Kot-Kotovich, For Pyotr Petrovich The cat had a dashing stepmother. She beat the cat and said: On your dad, on your back paw. Eat the cat, don’t drag it, Dad, don’t ask for more! Eat!
The best poems by famous poets about Maslenitsa
Hello, Maslenitsa! Give us butter! We'll bake ourselves some hot pancakes - We don't care about snowstorms and frosts! If there is a frying pan, We are not afraid of the cold, Because the pancake is hot - This is the best food! It’s not a mouse squeaking, It’s not frost crackling, Pancake after pancake is crackling in the frying pan... Yes with herring, Yes with caviar, Yes along the edge with a golden Crust! This is how Maslenitsa gave us! Even two pancakes appeared in the sky: This is the sun and next to it is the moon. One pancake is hot, the other pancake is cold... Climb to the sky - If anyone is hungry! Pancakes rolled along the ground like wheels... Children under the birch trees Collect gifts! The baptized world is rejoicing today, Because today is Maslenitsa. Come, people, and eat a pancake with us, so that spring can quickly come to the earth! Come on, eat a pancake so that spring can come!

Since ancient times, the Sun Festival has been rushing to us. He is one of the earliest to look out the windows on a spring day. This is Maslenitsa rushing along the streets of our native ones. The whole village drinks and walks, eats pancakes in large pieces: with sour cream and nardek, with fish, meat and caviar. The holiday becomes wider with every century, Don't call it a game. Monday is the day for meeting, everyone goes to visit friends. And on Tuesday there are songs and dances. The name of the day is to play. On Wednesday, the table is bursting with treats: eat, drink, Cossack! And on Thursday is the day of reconciliation... “Mother-in-law’s day” is what it’s called. The mother-in-law makes peace with her daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law shakes hands with her son-in-law. The godfather forgot the disputes with the godfather, everyone invites you to visit him. Girls lead round dances, guys ride on sleighs. From the snowy ravine they rush down the hills on their feet. The brave Cossack constable is calling for a game. Early in the morning he, the crafty one, stuck vines into a snowdrift. On hot horses the Cossacks cut Her down: At a gallop, at full saber, the Donetsk people cut Her down. On the side of the important Cossack women, restless apricots. They throw scarves into the snow - Let the rider pick it up... Well, on Friday there’s a party, There’s a feast in the streets. Ataman's treat... People are rushing to the tables. The hot pancakes make it hot, The copper samovar puffs. Everyone is cheerful without a gift. The troika is flying noisily. Mummered horses gallop, Moaning runners, songs, laughter. Cossacks dance to a tambourine, Old people are the happiest of all. Saturday is majestically called Gatherings. They lead round dances with songs, They go on visits endlessly. Sunday is the day of farewell, Farewell to the gray winter. In every house there is kissing, a year to wait for a new Maslena. The bells are ringing, calling everyone to matins. Young and old know: Tomorrow the fast will come to homes. After the service, all the Cossacks will come out into the field with a bow. They will look up to the Sun in prayer And ask like a human: - Red Sun, be generous, Warm the seeds in the field! Be, Lord, merciful to us: Rain the fields on the Earth. The fun continues until dark, the people are treated to food, until the first star, so that everyone can eat in advance.

One early morning Kuzya took a frying pan, kneaded the dough in a bowl, and poured milk into it. And then I baked pancakes, both fragrant and delicious. Round, ruddy, honey and spicy, rich, pretty, like the sun. Kuzya gathered all his friends and ran up the hill. They began to laugh joyfully and ride on sleds. And then play snowballs, run, jump and gallop. Towns began to be built near the snow-covered river. And then, in a crowd, everyone went home to Kuza. They drank tea from the samovar, in the heat and ardor. They ate pancakes, chatted, and then sang a song: “Maslenitsa, Maslenitsa! Maslenitsa came to visit us, Maslenitsa brought happiness! Maslenitsa, Maslenitsa, take away the winter, Maslenitsa, Maslenitsa, Spring come to us!”

SPRING is in the air, honest people are rushing to the park, Yes, in the morning, and with families, This Sunday! Anyone and everyone is welcome: It’s a special day in Rus'! On my shoulders! At my father's! Today is Maslenitsa! My eyes see everything: Here is a concert, And there are battles. Resonant and clear - A vociferous song, It flies, now it creeps, About a merchant, about a maiden! I like dancing more - It's a holiday, it's a fairy tale! Mom got up in a round dance - A white swan is swimming... Dad and I are surprised: And cheesecakes, and pancakes, In the heat of the moment - they are eaten, But they do not disappear! Smells like sun and pancakes - March. AND – MASLENITSA WITH US! Let's burn the effigy, We'll see off WINTER!

In the midst of the celestial bodies, the face of the moon is foggy, how round and how white it is, like a pancake with sour cream.
Every night she walks the Milky Way in the rays. Apparently, Maslenitsa is forever in heaven!

Shrovetide is a dear guest, having fun, celebrating, playing in the courtyards. He treats you, my dear, with fluffy pancakes, sweet cheesecakes, and fish pies. The generous, singing Maslena-Gulena looks with kind eyes in surprise at the ruddy, tender beauty of Spring, smiling softly at the blue-eyed sky. Goodbye Maslena - cheese fun, Farewell, madam, red mockingbird. The radiant sun sees off the winter, greets the desired Lyubushka with a song.

Pancakes are being baked. There is a cheerful child. During Maslenitsa there is breaking the fast everywhere! Today in Rus', as they say, is Forgiveness Holy Sunday!
And then, in the spring-rainbow fire, Cheerful as a morning cloud, My independent granddaughter fluttered to me instead of an angel.
She laughs contagiously and loudly, capable of walking around the whole earth, still a completely green girl and almost completely grown up.
Having whirled around a little like a bright moth, she sat down on the sofa and said: “Today is Forgiveness Day.” This means that, perhaps, the best beginnings are intertwined in him.
And so, in the name of this day, If I was guilty of something, I admit, Please forgive me. - And, let's kiss the drunken heart, Solemnly: - And I forgive you!
- Since ancient times in the world they have been saying that those who are like righteous souls are able to forgive literally all sins in a row to the people around them. —
And, excitedly jumping up from her seat, she exclaimed: “I’m asking you, not for the sake of some kind of test, but just for the sake of the soul.” So please!
Are you ready to forgive your enemies? “It depends on what kind...” I said carefully. - No, it’s simply impossible with you! Let's say it differently:
Well, could you forgive, for example, a lie? - Lie? - I said, - this is very bad. But if the liar repents, well, and doesn’t lie again, I’ll probably forgive you.
- Well, what about love? Someone fell in love, then it’s over! And there was no feeling left... Would you forgive? - Perhaps I would forgive if she sincerely confessed to me.
- Well, now... Let’s not talk about who is evil in the world and who is kinder at heart. The question stands before you like this: Could you forgive betrayal? —
What answer should I give now? The question was asked to me clearly and firmly. How easy it is for those who can forgive everything! But I am silent... I have nothing to say... No, I will never be among the righteous, obviously!

Mother Spring is coming, open the gates! The first March came, saw all the children, And behind him - and April opened the window and the door. And when May came, walk as much as you want! Mother Spring walks alone through the fields and forests. The first time we say goodbye, the second time it is forbidden, and the third time we won’t let you through!
Happy Maslenitsa to everyone!
