by Aleksandr Nikolayevich Andreyev (1830 - 1891)

Vot zhizn' cyganki
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Pesni i pljaski,
Kubok vina –
Vot zhizn' cyganki,
Vot vam ona!
Zvuki gitary,
Muzyki grom,
Igry, zabavy -
Vse nipochem!

Vol'ny, kak pticy,
Vol'ny dushoj;
Pet', veselit'sja –
Vot nash pokoj.
Netu zaboty,
Netu kazny,
Skuki, nevzgody -
Net i nuzhdy!

Vse nas zabavit,
Vse veselit,
Gde khor nash grjanet,
Tam ozhivit!
Zhitejskije skorbi
Nam nipochem:
S gorja my pljashem,
S gorja pojem.
