Деда, только держи меня! Обещаешь, что не отпустишь?
Grandpa, just hold on to me! Promise you won't let go?

Обещаю. Смотри вперёд и крути педали, а я рядом.
I promise. Look ahead and pedal, I'm right here.

Деда, я еду! Ты ведь держишь, да?
Grandpa, I'm riding! You're holding on, right?

Я тебя ещё у скамейки отпустил. Ты едешь сам!
I let go of you back at the bench. You're riding on your own!

Сам?! Хорошо, что ты не сказал. Если бы сказал, я бы упал!
On my own?! Good thing you didn't tell me. If you had, I'd have fallen!
