from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Len
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Poseyali devki len.
Lado, lado, devki len!

Poseyali, pololi,
Lado lado, pololi!

Bely' ruki kololi,
Lado, lado, kololi!

Vo e`tot li vo lenok,
Lado, lado, vo lenok!

Povadilsya parenek,
Lado, lado, parenek!

Ivanushka-shhegolek,
Lado, lado, shhegolek!

Lenochek ves` isprimyal,
Lado, lado, isprimyal!

V Dunaj-reku pobrosal,
Lado, lado, pobrosal!

Dunaj-reka ne primat,
Lado, lado, ne primat!

Ko berezhku pribivat,
Lado, lado, pribivat!

Ko berezhku, ko yurku,
Lado, lado, ko yurku!

Ko krasnomu berezhku,
Lado, lado, k berezhku!

Na berezhke, berezhke,
Tut gulyali molodcy',
Lado, lado, molodcy'!

Veli konya pod kovrom
Pod zlaty'em cheprakom,
Lado, lado, cheprakom!

Kon` kopy'tom zemlyu b`et,
Bely'j kamen` razbivat,
Lado, lado, razbivat!

V e`tom kamne iskry' net,
V moem muzhe pravdy' net:
Lado, lado, pravdy' net!

S chuzhoj zhenoj voditsya,
So mnoj, mladoj, ssoritsya!
Lado, lado, ssoritsya,

Chuzhoj zhonke — bashmachki,
A mne mlade — lapotki,
Lado, lado, lapotki!
