by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Shakhovskoy (1777 - 1846)

Dve pesni Bashlyka
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ne znaval ja rodu-plemeni,
Ja ne vidyval rodnoj materi,
Ja ne slykhival o rodnoj sestre;
Zval chuzhogo rodnym batjushkoj,
Zval chuzhogo rodnym batjushkoj,
Rodnym batjushkoj!

A uzh vzjal ja, ne sosvatavshis',
Krasnu devicu v molody zheny;
Da i ta zhena jeshche zazhivo
Promenjala dobra molodca
Na kupchinu nekljuchimogo, nekljuchimogo.

Akh! zatem li ja na svet rozhden,
Chtob dostat'sja na posmeshishche
Nekljuchimomu da izmennice, da izmennice?
Na posmeshishche nekljuchimomu da izmennice.

Naletal sokol iz podnebes'ja,
Vyrval lastochku iz tepla gnezda;
Ne dlja radosti, ne dlja sladosti,
Iz obychaja molodeckogo.
Ne dostat'sja zh ty, moja lastochka,
Uzh li mne nikomu, ni zlodeju mojemu.
