Dve podrugi
Language: Russian (Русский) 
- Krasivo ty živëš', ljubeznaja sestrica! -
skazala s zavist'ju v gostjach u krysy myš',
- na čëm ty ëš' i p'ëš', na čëm sidiš',
kuda ni gljanëš', vse iz-za granicy! -
- Ach, esli b, dušečka, ty znala, -
so vzdochom krysa otvečala,
- ja večno čto-nibud' išču!
JA den'-den'skoj v begach za zagraničnym -
vse naše kažetsja mne serym i obyčnym,
ja liš' zamorskoe k sebe v noru tašču:
vot volos iz tureckogo divana!
Vot loskutok persidskogo kovra!
A ėtot nežnyj puch dostali mne včera,
on afrikanskij. On ot pelikana! -
- A čto ty eš'? - sprosila krysu myš',
- est' to, čto my edim, tebe ved' ne pristalo! -
- Nu, milaja! - ej krysa otvečala,
- tut na menja ničem ne ugodiš'!
Vot razve tol'ko chleb ja em i salo! -
JA znaju est' eščë semejki, 
gde naše chajat i branjat,
gde s umileniem gljadjat
na zagraničnye naklejki...
a salo... russkoe edjat!
