Raz v kreshhenskij vecherok
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Raz v kreshhenskij vecherok
Devushki gadali;
Za vorota bashmachok,
Snyav s nogi, brosali,
Za vorota bashmachok,
Snyav s nogi, brosali;
Sneg pololi, pod oknom
Slushali, kormili
Schetny'm kuriczu zernom,
Yary'j vosk topili;
V chashu s chistoyu vodoj
Klali persten` zolotoj,
Klali persten` zolotoj,
Ser`gi izumrudny',
Rasstilali bely'j plat
I nad chashej peli v lad
Pesenki podblyudny'.

Tusklo svetitsya luna
V sumrake tumana;
Molchaliva i grustna
Milaya Svetlana,
Molchaliva i grustna
Milaya Svetlana.
Chto, podruzhen`ka, s toboj?
Vy'molvi slovechko!
Slushaj pesni krugovoj,
Vy'n` sebe kolechko;
Poj, krasavicza: «Kuznecz!
Skuj mne zlat i nov venecz,
Skuj mne zlat i nov venecz,
Skuj kol`czo zlatoe,
Mne venchat`sya tem venczom,
Obruchat`sya tem kol`czom
Pri svyatom naloe».
