Ulica, ulica
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Raz ot cyganok idu ja k sebe.
Ulica strannoju kazhetsja mne.

Levaja, pravaja gde storona?
Ulica, ulica, ty, brat, p'jana.

I fonari tak nejasno gorjat,
Smirno na meste nikak ne stojat.
Tak i mel'kajut tuda i sjuda.
`Ekh, da vy p'janye vse, gospoda.

Levaja, pravaja gde storona?
Ulica, ulica, ty, brat, p'jana.

Ty chto za rozhi tam, mesjac, krivish',
Glazki prishchuril, tak stranno gljadish',
Lishnij stakanchik khvatil, brat, vina;
Stydno tebe, ved' uzh ty starina.

Levaja, pravaja gde storona?
Ulica, ulica, ty, brat, p'jana.

S vami l' tjagat'sja, soboj riskovat'?
Luchshe k cygankam vernut'sja opjat'.

Levaja, pravaja gde storona?
Ulica, ulica, ty, brat, p'jana.
