Translation by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Language: Russian (Русский) after the French (Français)
Ворон к ворону летит, Ворон к ворону кричит: ,,Ворон, где б нам отобедать ? Как бы нам о том проведать?`` Ворон ворону в ответ: ,,Знаю, будет нам обед; В чистом поле под ракитой Богатырь лежит убитый. Кем убит и отчего, Знает сокол лишь его, И кобылка вороная, Да хозяйка молодая. Сокол в рощу улетел, На кобылку недруг сел, А хозяйка ждёт милого, Не убитого, живого.``
