by Nikolai Alekseyevich Nekrasov (1821 - 1877)

Калистратушка
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  FRE
Надо мной певала матушка,
Колыбель мою качаючи:
Будешь счастлив, Калистратушка,
Будешь жить ты припеваючи.
И сбылось по воле Божией
Предсказанье моей матушки.
Нет счастливей, нет пригожей,
Нет нарядней Калистратушки,
Ох! нет нарядней Калистратушки!
Ключевой водицей умываюся,
Пятерней чешу волосыньки,
Урожаю дожидаюся
С незапаханной полосыньки,
С незапаханной полосыньки,
С незасеенной.
А жена моя занимается
На нагих детишек стиркою,
Пуще мужа наряжается:
Носит лапти с подковыркою.
Да, будешь счастлив, Калистратушка,
Ох, будешь жить ты припеваючи!
