Dve podrugi
Language: Russian (Русский) 
- Krasivo ty zhivjosh', ljubeznaja sestrica! -
skazala s zavist'ju v gostjakh u krysy mysh',
- na chjom ty josh' i p'josh', na chjom sidish',
kuda ni gljanjosh', vse iz-za granicy! -
- Akh, jesli b, dushechka, ty znala, -
so vzdokhom krysa otvechala,
- ja vechno chto-nibud' ishchu!
Ja den'-den'skoj v begakh za zagranichnym -
vse nashe kazhetsja mne serym i obychnym,
ja lish' zamorskoje k sebe v noru tashchu:
vot volos iz tureckogo divana!
Vot loskutok persidskogo kovra!
A `etot nezhnyj pukh dostali mne vchera,
on afrikanskij. On ot pelikana! -
- A chto ty jesh'? - sprosila krysu mysh',
- jest' to, chto my jedim, tebe ved' ne pristalo! -
- Nu, milaja! - jej krysa otvechala,
- tut na menja nichem ne ugodish'!
Vot razve tol'ko khleb ja jem i salo! -
Ja znaju jest' jeshchjo semejki, 
gde nashe khajat i branjat,
gde s umilenijem gljadjat
na zagranichnye naklejki...
a salo... russkoje jedjat!
