Ne žemčug dorogoj na cvetočke blestit
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ne žemčug dorogoj na cvetočke blestit, A rosinka. Ne vesel'e v glazach u devicy gorit, A slezinka! I cvetočku v gluši ėta bož'ja rosa Poljubilas', I s toskoj i slezoj na čužbine krasa Podružilas'. Peresažen cvetok iz poljany rodnoj V zluju stužu; Prodana krasota za mešok zolotoj Zlomu mužu. I cvetoček bol'noj tol'ko ostroj kosy Podžidaet; I rumjanec živoj u devicy-krasy Uvjadaet. Znat', pogibnut' tebe, o cvetok, po vesne V čuždom pole! Ne ljubit' už krase na čužoj storone I v nevole!
