by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Shakhovskoy (1777 - 1846)

Pesnja Bashlyka (Vverkh po Volge, s Nizhnjaja...
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vverkh po Volge, s Nizhnjaja goroda,
Snarjazhen struzhok, kak strela, letit;
A na tom struzhke, na snarjazhennom,
Udalykh grebcov sorok dva sidjat.
Da odin iz nikh prizadumalsja,
Prizadumalsja, zagorjunilsja:
Otchego zhe ty, dobryj molodec,
Prizadumalsja, zagorjunilsja?
Ja zadumalsja o belom lice
Zagorjunilsja ot jasnykh ochej,
Vse na um idjot krasna devica,
Vse mereshchitsja nenagljadnaja!
Al' zatem ona na svet rodilas'
Luchshe, krashe solnca jasnogo,
Nenagljadneje neba chistogo,
Chtob lishit' menja sveta belogo,
Polozhit' v grob prezhde vremeni!
Ja khotel by pozabyt' o nej,
Rad-radjokhonek ne ljubit' jejo:
Jesli zh devica da ne szhalitsja
Nado mnoju, goremykoju,
Tak zachem zhe i na svete zhit'
Mne bednomu, besprijutnomu?
Uzh khot' vy, bratcy-tovarishchi,
Dokazhite mne druzhbu bratskuju!
Szhal'tes', szhal'tes' nad tovarishchem!
Bros'te vy menja v Volgu-Matushku!
Utopite grust', pechal' moju!
