by Nikolai Alekseyevich Nekrasov (1821 - 1877)

U lyudej‑to v domu ‑ chistota, lepota
Language: Russian (Русский) 
U lyudej-to v domu - chistota, lepota,
A u nas-to v domu - tesnota, duxota.

U lyudej-to dlya shhej - s soloninkoyu chan,
A u nas-to vo shhax - tarakan, tarakan!

U lyudej kumov`ya - rebyatishek daryat,
A u nas kumov`ya - nash zhe xleb priedyat!

U lyudej na ume - pogutorit` s kumoj,
A u nas na ume - ne pojti by' s sumoj?

Kaby' tak nam zazhit`, chtoby' svet udivit`:
Chtoby' den`gi v moshne, chtoby' rozh` na gumne;

Chtob shleya v bubenczax, raspisnaya duga,
Chtob sukno na plechax, ne poskon`-deryuga;

Chtob ne xuzhe drugix nam pochet ot lyudej,
Pop v gostyax u bol`shix, u detej - gramotej;

Chtoby' deti v domu - slovno pchyoly' v medu,
A xozyajka v domu - kak malinka v sadu!
