from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Devushka krapivushku zhala
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Devushka krapivushku zhala,
Krasnaja strekuchuju zhala.
Zhala, da nemnogo nazhala,
Kazhetsja, ni s kem ne stojala,
Tol'ko lish' s milym govorila:
Milen'kij! Ty mil moj druzhochek!
Zhizn' moja, kuda ot"ezzhajesh',
Na kogo menja pokidajesh'?
Ty voz'mi menja, drug, s soboju,
Nazovi menja ty sestroju
Ili molodoju zhenoju!
Mne nel'zja tebja vzjat' s soboju,
Mne nel'zja tebja zvat' sestroju
Ili molodoju zhenoju:
Vse znajut v polku oficery,
U menja sestry net rodnoj,
Netu zheny molodoj,
Tol'ko i jest' mat' lish' rodima,
I ta uzh starym-to staren'ka,
Dozhivajet vek goremychnyj.
