from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Za morem sinichka ne py'shno zhila
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Za morem sinichka ne py'shno zhila,
Ne py'shno zhila, pivo varivala,
Solodu kupila, xmelyu vzajmy' vzyala,
Chyorny'j drozd pivovarom by'l,
Sizy'j oryol vinokurom sly'l.
Daj zhe nam, bozhe, piva svarit`,
Piva svarit` i vina nakurit`!
Sozovyom gostej – melkix ptashechek,
Sovushka - vdovushka nezvanaya prishla;
Snegir` po senichkam poxazhivaet,
Sovushke golovushku poglazhivaet.
Stali vse ptichki mezh soboyu govorit`:
Chto zh ty', snegirushka, ne zhenish`sya?
Rad by' ya zhenit`sya, da nekogo vzyat`!
Vzyal by' ya pervatku, to matka moya,
Vzyal by' ya chechyotku, to tyotka moya,
Vzyal by' ya sinichku, - sestrichka moya,
Vzyal by' ya soroku, shhepetlivaya.
Vzyal by' ya voronu, dolgonosaya.
Est` za moryami perepyolochka,
Ta mne ni matushka, ni tyotushka,
Tu ya lyublyu, i za sebya voz`mu.
Zdravstvuj, xozyain i s xozyayushkoyu,
S xozyayushkoyu i s maly'mi detushkami!
