lyrics

It was the day before Christmas. Masha and her mother were about to go to the fair. Since the morning Masha had a feeling that today she was going to experience something… extraordinary. The Christmas market overwhelmed her with its busy rustle, fragrant spices and jolly laughter. All of a sudden, in the middle of the road where from time to time beautiful carriages swooshed by, Masha saw something in the snow. It was a puppet or a toy, but somehow looked as though it were alive. Her body turned numb: a carriage with tree horses was racing directly towards the toy. Following some magic call, Masha obediently rushed to the road and grabbed the toy just before it would have been trampled.

Beside herself with excitement, she finally had a chance to have a closer look at what she was holding. It was a little gnome dressed in green boots, a blue jacket and a red cap. Masha pressed the toy to her chest tightly… and suddenly she saw, right in front of her, a dazzling-bright shop window with a glowing sign: “Magic Shop”.

The shop window was full of amazing toys, and they appeared as if they were real. They smiled and bowed to Masha. At the entrance door stood a man in a black cloak and a hat tipped down over his brow. He must have been the shop owner. He invited Masha to come inside.

And unexpectedly her mother appeared. She had been looking for Masha and was very worried. The girl wanted to show her Mom this wonder, the Magic Shop, but it had disappeared… and the Christmas fair whirled around with renewed vigour!
