Пирушка
 (Sung text for setting by M. Musorgsky)
 See original
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  FRE
Ворота тесовы
Растворилися,
На конях, на санях,
Гости въехали;
Им хозяин с женой
Низко кланялись,
Со двора повели
В светлу горенку.
Перед Спасом святым
Гости молятся;
За дубовы столы,
За набранные,
На дубовых скамьях
Сели званые.
 ... 
Бахромой, кисеёй
Принаряжена,
Молодая жена,
Чернобровая,
Обходила потчует
С поцелуями,
Разносила гостям
Чашу горькова;
Сам хозяин за ней
Брагой хмельною
Из ковшей вырезных
Родных потчует;
А хозяйская дочь
Мёдом сыченым
Обносила вокруг
С лаской девичьей.
 ... 
Гости пьют и едят,
Забавляются
От вечерней зари
До полуночи.
 ...
