by Aleksandr Ivanovich Polezhayev (1804 - 1838)

У меня ль, молодца
Language: Russian (Русский) 
У меня ль, молодца,
Ровно в двадцать лет
Со бела со лица
Спал румяный цвет,

Чёрный волос кольцом
Не бежит с плеча;
На ремне золотом
Нет грозы-меча;

За железным щитом
Нет копья-огня,
Под черкесским седлом
Нет стрелы-коня;

Нет перстней дорогих
Подарить милой! 
Без невесты жених,
Без попа налой... 

Расступись, расступись,
Мать-сыра земля! 
Прекратись, прекратись,
Жизнь-тоска моя! 

Лишь по ней, по милой,
Красен белый свет;
Без милой, дорогой
Счастья в мире нет!
