Za dolami ‑ za gorami ‑ za lesami
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Za dolami, za gorami,
Za lesami, mezh kustami
Luzhochek tam by'l.
Na luzhku rosli czvetochki,
Vokrug mily' rucheechki
Blistali v struyax.
Ptichki nezhny' pesni peli,
Sly'shny' by'li tam svireli,
Solovej svistal.
Nepodalyoku by'l xolmik,
A na xolmike by'l domik,
Na vsej krasote.
Vozle domika dubochek,
Gde sidel dusha-molodchik
V kruchine, toske.
Podzhav ruchki  on sidel,
Na czvetochki glyadel,
Pesenku zapel:
Ax! milaya moya,
Milovidnaya moya,
Skuchno bez tebya!
Vse listochki, prutochki
I prekrasny' rucheechki
Zdes` ne veselyat.
Oni grusti umnozhayut,
Vse tebya, drug, vspominayut,
Kak lyubilis` my'.
My' igrali v vasilechki,
A lyubov` plela venochki
Vsyakij vecherok,
Czelovalis`, milovalis`,
Ptichki, glyadya, lyubovalis`,
Kak rezvilis` my',
Serdce noet, noet, noet,
Po razluke plachet, stonet
Dobry'j molodecz.
Ne tuzhi, ne plach`, detinka;
Ty' mne zhalok, sirotinka,
Uvizhus` s toboj!
Kak po ulice po toj
Shel detinka molodoj,
Chinom ne prostoj,
Ne prostoj on dvoryanin,
Eshhe knyaz`-gospodin, pogulivaet.
A kakoj-to v syurtuke,
Derzhit Katyu na ruke,
Czeluet ee.
Ona ego celovala
I cepochkoj balovala, -
Prosila chasov.
Ax, zhal` chasy' dragie,
Otpustit` v ruki chuzhie:
Boyus`, propadut;
Duxi, pudra i pomada,
Dlya devchonok vse to nado,
Sebya ukrashat`:
Opaxalom vsegda mashet,
V maskeradax chasto plyashet
Shashurka moya, razmilen`kaya.
Ona mody' razbiraet,
I na shlyupkax raz``ezzhaet,
Chto vozyat pesok.
Shin`on pudroj nabivaet
I na drozhkax raz``ezzhaet,
Chto vozyat kul`e.
Narumyanivshis` vsya v mushkax,
I valyaetsya na struzhkax,
Krasotka moya, razmilen`kaya!
