from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Ty detinushka, sirotinushka
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ty detinushka, sirotinushka,
Besprijutnaja tvoja golovushka!
Bez otca ty vzros i bez materi,
Na chuzhoj dal'nej storonushke;
Net ni batjushki, ni matushki,
Net ni bratca, ni rodnoj sestry,
Ni dushechki molodoj zheny!
Vdol' da po ulice moj drug guljajet,
Jego grust', toska raznimajet
Temna nochen'ka pristigajet,
Nochevat' nikto ne puskajet,
Vse razbojnichkom nazyvajut,
Vse okoshechki zakryvajut,
Vse vorotichki zatvorjajut,
Vse ko vdovushke posylajut.
Ty pusti, pusti, moloda vdova!
Mne ne god u tebja godovati,
Ne nedeljushku mne stojati,
Odnu nochen'ku nochevati,
Cvetno plat'e obsushiti,
Na tvoje zhit'e posmotreti!
