from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Ty' detinushka, sirotinushka
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ty' detinushka, sirotinushka,
Bespriyutnaya tvoya golovushka!
Bez otcza ty' vzros i bez materi,
Na chuzhoj dal`nej storonushke;
Net ni batyushki, ni matushki,
Net ni bratcza, ni rodnoj sestry',
Ni dushechki molodoj zheny'!
Vdol` da po ulice moj drug gulyaet,
Ego grust`, toska raznimaet
Temna nochen`ka pristigaet,
Nochevat` nikto ne puskaet,
Vse razbojnichkom nazy'vayut,
Vse okoshechki zakry'vayut,
Vse vorotichki zatvoryayut,
Vse ko vdovushke posy'layut.
Ty' pusti, pusti, moloda vdova!
Mne ne god u tebya godovati,
Ne nedelyushku mne stoyati,
Odnu nochen`ku nochevati,
Czvetno plat`e obsushiti,
Na tvoe zhit`e posmotreti!
