Devushka krapivushku zhala
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Devushka krapivushku zhala,
Krasnaya strekuchuyu zhala.
Zhala, da nemnogo nazhala,
Kazhetsya, ni s kem ne stoyala,
Tol`ko lish` s mily'm govorila:
Milen`kij! Ty' mil moj druzhochek!
Zhizn` moya, kuda ot``ezzhaesh`,
Na kogo menya pokidaesh`?
Ty' voz`mi menya, drug, s soboyu,
Nazovi menya ty' sestroyu
Ili molodoyu zhenoyu!
Mne nel`zya tebya vzyat` s soboyu,
Mne nel`zya tebya zvat` sestroyu
Ili molodoyu zhenoyu:
Vse znayut v polku oficery',
U menya sestry' net rodnoj,
Netu zheny' molodoj,
Tol`ko i est` mat` lish` rodima,
I ta uzh stary'm-to staren`ka,
Dozhivaet vek goremy'chny'j.
