from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Skuchno, matushka, vesnoju zhit' odnoj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Skuchno, matushka, vesnoju zhit' odnoj,
A skuchnej togo nejdet ko mne miloj.
I ja so gorja, s kruchiny, moloda,
[I ja vyjdu na krylechko, postoju]1,
Na vse storony chetyre pogljazhu:
Chto letit li, ne letit jasen sokol,
I on mashet li svoim sizym krylom?
I ja so gorja, s kruchiny, moloda,
Vyjdu, vyjdu za novye vorota,
Pogljazhu ja vdol' po ulice, v konec:
Chto nejdjot li ko mne milen'kij druzhok?
Kak na ulice metelica metet,
Za metelicej moj milyj drug idet,
I on mashet svoim sitcevym platkom:
Ty postoj, krasavica moja!
Jeshche daj ty nasmotret'sja na sebja,
Na svoju radost', prekrasnu krasotu!
Krasota tvoja s uma menja svela!
Ty i zdes', radost', krasavicej slyla;
Akh, kak nyne ty khuda stala, bledna!
