Sovet
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ty, Fjodor, slavnyj byl gusar,
Tovarishchej nadezhnym drugom,
Ostavja brannyj serdca zhar,
Teper' ty slavnym bud' suprugom.

No moj sovet ty zatverdi,
Chto v brake k schast'ju put' nedal'nij,
Zhenu khozjajkoju vedi,
I krepche kljuch derzhi ot spal'ni.

Ljubeznaja zhena jest' klad,
Tvoja ne mozhet byt' inoju;
Ty plamenem ljubvi bogat,
Ona zh prekrasnoju dushoju.

I tak ot brachnogo venca
Sebe schastlivoj zhdi sud'biny
I k godu s imenem otca
Zovi druzej ty na krestiny.
