by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Dorožnye žaloby
Language: Russian (Русский)
Dolgo l' mne guljat' na svete To v koljaske, to verchom, To v kibitke, to v karete, To v telege, to peškom? Ne v nasledstvennoj berloge, Ne sred' otčeskich mogil, Na bol'šoj mne, znat', doroge Umeret' gospod' sulil. Na kamen'jach pod kopytom, Na gore pod kolesom, Il' vo rvu, vodoj razmytom, Pod razobrannym mostom. Il' čuma menja podcepit, Il' moroz okostenit, Il' mne v lob šlagbaum vlepit Neprovornyj invalid. Il' v lesu pod nož zlodeju Popadusja v storone, Il' so skuki okoleju Gde-nibud' v karantine. Dolgo l' mne v toske golodnoj Post nevol'nyj sobljudat' I teljatinoj cholodnoj Trjufli Jara pominat'? To li delo byt' na meste, Po Mjasnickoj raz"ezžat', [O derevne, o neveste Na dosuge pomyšljat']1! To li delo rjumka roma, Noč'ju son, poutru čaj; To li delo, bratcy, doma!... Nu, pošël že, pogonjaj!
