Dve podrugi
Language: Russian (Русский) 
- Krasivo ty' zhivyosh`, lyubeznaya sestricza! -
skazala s zavist`yu v gostyax u kry'sy' my'sh`,
- na chyom ty' yosh` i p`yosh`, na chyom sidish`,
kuda ni glyanyosh`, vse iz-za granicy'! -
- Ax, esli b, dushechka, ty' znala, -
so vzdoxom kry'sa otvechala,
- ya vechno chto-nibud` ishhu!
YA den`-den`skoj v begax za zagranichny'm -
vse nashe kazhetsya mne sery'm i oby'chny'm,
ya lish` zamorskoe k sebe v noru tashhu:
vot volos iz tureczkogo divana!
Vot loskutok persidskogo kovra!
A e`tot nezhny'j pux dostali mne vchera,
on afrikanskij. On ot pelikana! -
- A chto ty' esh`? - sprosila kry'su my'sh`,
- est` to, chto my' edim, tebe ved` ne pristalo! -
- Nu, milaya! - ej kry'sa otvechala,
- tut na menya nichem ne ugodish`!
Vot razve tol`ko xleb ya em i salo! -
YA znayu est` eshhyo semejki, 
gde nashe xayat i branyat,
gde s umileniem glyadyat
na zagranichny'e naklejki...
a salo... russkoe edyat!
