Syadu ya za stol —
Language: Russian (Русский)

Syadu ya za stol —
Da podumayu:
Kak na svete zhit`
Odinokomu?

Net u molodcza
Molodoj zheny',
Net u molodcza
Druga vernova,

Zolotoj kazny',
Ugla tyoplova,
Borony'-soxi,
Konya-paxarya;

Vmeste s bednost`yu
Dal mne batyushka
Lish` odin talan —
Silu krepkuyu;

Da i tu kak raz
Nuzhda gor`kaya
Po chuzhim lyudyam
Vsyu istratila.

Syadu ya za stol —
Da podumayu:
Kak na svete zhit`
Odinokomu?
