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!
