Available translation(s): ENG
Сяду я за стол — Да подумаю: Как на свете жить Одинокому? Нет у молодца Молодой жены, Нет у молодца Друга вернова, Золотой казны, Угла тёплова, Бороны-сохи, Коня-пахаря; Вместе с бедностью Дал мне батюшка Лишь один талан — Силу крепкую; Да и ту как раз Нужда горькая По чужим людям Всю истратила. Сяду я за стол — Да подумаю: Как на свете жить Одинокому?
