Kak naladili: ,,Durak
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kak naladili: ,,Durak, Bros' chodit' v carev kabak!`` Tak i ladjat vsë odno: ,,Pej ty vodu, ne vino -- Vot chot' pečke poklonis', Chot' u bystroj poučis'.`` Už ja k rečen'ke pojdu, S rečkoj reči povedu: ,,Govorjat mne: ty umna, Poklonjus' tebe do dna, Nauči ty, kak mne byt', P'janstvom ljuda ne sramit'? Kak v tebja, moju reku, Utopit' zmeju-tosku? A naučiš', vek togda, Ispolat' tebe, voda, Čto otbila duraka Ot careva kabaka!``
