by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Strekotun'ja beloboka
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  FRE
Strekotun'ja beloboka pod kalitkoju mojej
Skachet pestraja soroka i prorochit mne gostej.
Kolokol'chik nebyvalyj u menja zvenit v ushakh,
Luch zari igrajet alyj, serebritsja snezhnyj prakh.

Kolokol'chiki zvenjat, barabanchiki gremjat,
A ljudi-to ljudi, oj, ljushen'ki ljudi!
A ljudi-to ljudi na cyganochku gljadjat.
A cyganochka-to skachet, v barabanchiki b'jot,
Oj, shirinochkoj-to mashet, zalivajetsja pojot:
«Ja pevun'ja, ja pevica,
Vorozhit' ja masterica!»

Strekotun'ja beloboka pod kalitkoju mojej
Skachet pestraja soroka i prorochit mne gostej.
Kolokol'chik nebyvalyj u menja zvenit v ushakh,
Luch zari igrajet alyj, serebritsja snezhnyj prakh.

A cyganochka vsjo pljashet, oj, shirinochkoj-to mashet:
«Ja pevun'ja, ja pevica,
Vorozhit' ja masterica!»
