Русая головка
 (Sung text for setting by A. Dargomyzhsky)
 See original
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
У окна в тени мелькает 
  Русая головка.
Ты не спишь, моё мученье!
  Ты не спишь, плутовка!

Выходи ко мне навстречу!
  С жаждой поцелуя
сердце к сердцу молодое
  Пламенно прижму я.

Ты не бойся, если звёзды
  Слишком ярко светят:
Я плащом тебя накрою
  Так, что не заметят.

Если часовой окликнет
  Назовись солдатом; 
Если спросят, с кем была ты?
  Отвечай, что с братом.
