Language: Russian (Русский)
«Prishel mesyacz-bokogrej, Zemlyu-matushku ne grel — Bok korove obogrel, I korove, i konyu, I sedomu stariku Morozu Morozy'chu… Ty', Morozko, ne serchaj, Iz derevni ubegaj — Chto za tridevyat` zemel`, [Da]1 za tridesyat` morej! Tam tvoyo xozyajstvo Zhdyot tebya — zabrosheno, Bely'm snegom zaporosheno, Za ledyany'mi pechatyami, Za sem`yu zhelezny'mi zamkami Da za sem`yu zasovami!» —
