by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Telega žizni
Language: Russian (Русский)
Chot' tjaželo podčas v nej bremja Telega na chodu legka; Jamščik lichoj, sedoe vremja, Vezet, ne slezet s oblučka. S utra sadimsja my v telegu; My [rady golovu slomat']1 I, preziraja len' i negu, Kričim: «[pošël, ebëna mat']2!» No v polden' net už toj otvagi; Porastrjaslo nas; nam strašnej I kosogory i ovragi; Kričim: «polegče, duralej!» Katit po-prežnemu telega; Pod večer my privykli k nej, I, dremlja, edem do nočlega -- A vremja gonit lošadej.
