Cherepakha Tortila tells Buratino in "Prikliucheniia Buratino" (Belarusfilm, 1975, Leonid Nechaev) to do all sorts of things in her song "300 Years Ago." Most of her sentences start with : "Bud'!" (but there is more)

Nikogda ne znai pokoia,
plach i smeisia nevpopad,
.....

ty vzroslet' ne toropis'
.....
bud' veselym, derzkim, chumnym,
drat'sia nado, tak deris'
