from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Dolina‑dolinushka
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Dolina-dolinushka,
Razdol'e, razdol'e shirokoje!
Razdol'e shirokoje!
Na tebe, dolinushke,
Nichego ne rodilos':
Ni gribki, ni jagodki,
Ni chernoj smorodinki,
Ni gor'koj kalinushki,
Ni sladkoj malinushki!
Tol'ko na dolinushke
Povyrosla roshchica,
Roshchica berezova,
List'ice shirokoje.
Iz-za toj li roshchicy
Tuman rasstilajetsja,
Zarja zanimajetsja,
Solnce vykatajetsja.
Grejet, grejet solnyshko
Zimoj ne po-letnemu;
Ljubit paren' devushku,
Ljubit ne po-prezhnemu.
Ljubil, vse obmanyval,
Zamuzh podgovarival:
Pojdi zamuzh, devica,
Za menja, za molodca!
U menja, u devushki,
V dumushkakh vesna proshla;
Vsju vesnu produmala,
Vse leto proplakala.
Dumaju, podumaju:
Kogo poljubit' by mne?
Poljubit' mne starogo?
S starym zhit' ne khochetsja.
Poljubit' mne vdovogo?
Vdovyj gor'kij p'janica.
Poljubit' zhenatogo?
Tak zhena oserditsja.
Poljubit' mne kholosta?
Kholost skoro zhenitsja.
Poljubit' soldatushku?
Soldat zadushevnyj drug:
Soldat v pokhod pojdet,
Devushku s soboj voz'met.
