by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Dorozhny'e zhaloby'
Language: Russian (Русский)
Dolgo l` mne gulyat` na svete To v kolyaske, to verxom, To v kibitke, to v karete, To v telege, to peshkom? Ne v nasledstvennoj berloge, Ne sred` otcheskix mogil, Na bol`shoj mne, znat`, doroge Umeret` gospod` sulil. Na kamen`yax pod kopy'tom, Na gore pod kolesom, Il` vo rvu, vodoj razmy'tom, Pod razobranny'm mostom. Il` chuma menya podcepit, Il` moroz okostenit, Il` mne v lob shlagbaum vlepit Neprovorny'j invalid. Il` v lesu pod nozh zlodeyu Popadusya v storone, Il` so skuki okoleyu Gde-nibud` v karantine. Dolgo l` mne v toske golodnoj Post nevol`ny'j soblyudat` I telyatinoj xolodnoj Tryufli Yara pominat`? To li delo by't` na meste, Po Myasniczkoj raz``ezzhat`, [O derevne, o neveste Na dosuge pomy'shlyat`]1! To li delo ryumka roma, Noch`yu son, poutru chaj; To li delo, bratcy', doma!... Nu, poshyol zhe, pogonyaj!
