Рыжичков, волвяночек, Белых беляночек Наберу скорёшенько Я, млада-младёшенька, Что для свёкра-батюшки, Для [свекрови-матушки]1: Перестали б скряжничать -- Сели бы пображничать. А тебе, [постылому]2, Старому да хилому, Суну я в окошечко [Полное]3 лукошечко, Мухомора старого, Старого поджарого ... Старый ест -- не справится: Мухомором давится... А тебе, треклятому, Белу-кудреватому, Высмотрю я травушку, Травушку-муравушку, На постелю браную, Свахой-ночкой стланую, С пологом-дубровушкой Да со мной ли, вдовушкой.

Des oranges, des bruns, Des blancs, des petits blancs, Je vais en ramasser vite, Car je suis jeune, bien jeune, Pour mon beau-père, Pour ma belle-mère, Pour qu'ils cessent de lésiner Et qu'ils s'assoient pour faire la fête. Mais pour toi, que je déteste, Qui es vieux et malingre, Par la fenêtre je passerai Un plein panier De vieilles amanites, Vieilles et rabougries, Et le vieux les mangera -- ne pourra pas les supporter L'amanite l'étouffera. Mais pour toi, damné jeune homme, Aux belles boucles, Je ramasserai de l'herbe, De l'herbe douce, Pour décorer une couche Pour la nuit de noces, Avec des feuilles pour rideau, Et couchée là, moi, la veuve.
