Pela, pela ptashechka
Language: Russian (Русский)
Pela, pela ptashechka I zatikhla; Znalo serdce radosti I zabylo. Chto, pevun'ja ptashechka, Zamolchala? Kak ty, serdce, svedalos' S chjornym gorem? Akh! ubili ptashechku Zlye v'jugi; Pogubili molodca Zlye tolki! Poletet' by ptashechke K sinju morju; Ubezhat' by molodcu V les dremuchij! -- Na more valy shumjat, A ne v'jugi, V lese zveri ljutye, Da ne ljudi!
