Travka zeleneet
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Polish (Polski)
Travka zeleneet, Solnyško blestit, Lastočka s vesnoju V seni k nam letit. S neju solnce [kraše]1 I vesna milej... Proščebeč' s dorogi Nam privet skorej. Dam tebe ja zeren, A ty pesnju spoj, Čto iz stran dalekich Prinesla s soboj... Čto ty vsë kružiš'sja? Čto tvoj černyj glaz Iščet vsë kogo-to? Net ee u nas! Za soldata vyšla, Brosila naš dom; S mater'ju proščalas' Von za tem krestom. Tam, gde kust, mne s plačem Nogi obnjala I čut' ne vernulas', Kak do gor došla. Esli k nim letiš' ty, Rasskaži potom: Možet terpjat nuždu V gorode čužom? Často l' vspominajut Obo mne u nich? Čto ich doč'-maljutka? Čto synoček ich?
