by Robert Burns (1759 - 1796)
Translation by Samuil Yakovlevich Marschak (1887 - 1964)

Johnie Lad, Cock Up Your Beaver
Language: Scottish (Scots) 
When first my brave Johnie lad came to this town,
He had a blue bonnet that wanted the crown;
But now he has gotten a hat and a feather,
Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!

Cock up your beaver, and cock it fu' sprush,
We'll over the border, and gie them a brush;
There's somebody there we'll teach better behaviour,
Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!

Горский парень
 (Sung text for setting by G. Sviridov)
 Matches base text
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the Scottish (Scots) 
Лучший парень наших лет,
Славный парень, славный парень,
На плече он носит плед,
Славный горский парень.

Носит шапку пирожком,
Славный парень, славный парень,
Он с изменой незнаком,
Славный горский парень.

Слышишь звонкий зов трубы,
Дочь полей, дитя долины,
Зов трубы и гром пальбы,
Девушка долины?

Слава в бой меня зовёт,
Дочь полей, дитя долины,
За свободу и народ,
Девушка долины!

Легче солнце двинуть вспять,
Чем тебя поколебать,
Славный горский парень.
