Vesëlyj korol'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Staryj deduška Kol byl vesëlyj korol',
Gromko kriknul on svite svoej:
,,Ėj, nalejte nam kupki, da nabejte nam trupki,
Da zovite moich skripačej, trubačej,
Da zovite moich trubačej!``

Byli skripki v rukach u ego skripačej,
Byli truby u vsech trubačej,
I pilili oni, i trubili oni,
Do utra, ne smykaja očej.

Staryj deduška Kol byl vesëlyj korol',
Gromko kriknul on svite svoej:
,,Ėj, nalejte nam kupki, da nabejte nam trupki,
Da gonite moich skripačej, trubačej,
Da gonite moich trubačej!``
