Dobryj domovoj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Noch'ju, kak v izbe vsjo spalo,
Dobryj domovoj
S kazaka snjal pokryvalo,
Grud' zakryl rukoj.
Poutru polna vsja khata,
Batraki prishli,
I za sol', za rybu zlata
Mnogo prinesli.

Noch'ju, kak v izbe vsjo spalo,
Dobryj domovoj
Tjanet s deda pokryvalo,
Grud' zakryl rukoj.
Utro; starika tolkajut;
Vot prosnulsja on.
I o chjom zhe izveshchajut?
Vnuk jemu rozhdjon.

Noch'ju, kak v izbe vsjo spalo,
Dobryj domovoj
Tikho sdjornul pokryvalo
S devy molodoj;
On ischez; stuchat u khaty,
Sonnuju zovut.
Kto? Zachem? Krasavca svaty
Zhenikha vedut.

Kak ja byl ditja, vsjo spalo,
Dobryj domovoj
Snjal s ditjati pokryvalo,
Grud' zakryl rukoj.
Rannim rano, chut' zarjoju
Stal vostok alet',
Ja banduru vzjal i stroju,
Stal igrat' i pet'.
