from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Ach ty, dušen'ka krasna devica
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ach ty, dušen'ka krasna devica, krasna devica!
Ty o čem, o čem večer plakala,
V zelenom sadu guljajuči,
Sladkoe višen'e lomajuči?
Ach ty, dušečka, dobryj molodec,
Udalaja tvoja golovuška!
Ty kuda, moj drug, snarjažaeš'sja,
Vo kotoruju dal'njuju storonu,
Vo kotoruju, neznakomuju:
Vo Kazan'-gorod, ili v Astrachan',
Ili v Novgorod, ili Peterburg,
Ili vo matušku kamennu Moskvu?

Ty voz'mi, voz'mi menja s soboj,
Nazovi ty menja rodnoj sestroj
Ili dušečkoj molodoj ženoj!
Ach ty, dušečka, krasna devica,
Nerazumnaja doč' oteckaja!
I ja rad by tebja s soboju vzjat',
Pro menja tam ljudi vedajut,
Da čto net u menja rodnoj sestry,
Net ni dušečki molodoj ženy,
Liš' odna tol'ko rodnaja matuška,
Da i ta ved' uže starešen'ka!
