Boroda
Language: Russian (Русский)
Boroda l' moja, boroduška! Boroda l' moja bobrovaja! Posedela ty, boroduška, Do pory svoej, do vremeni! Povedeš', byvalo, garknuvši, Usom černym, molodeckiim - Krasna devica ognem gorit, Doč' bojarska taet v polymi! Prikušu tebja, kosmataja, - Basurmanin zloj s konja letit, Drjablyj nemec v nory prjačetsja! Zaneslo tebja, kudrjavuju, Da ne snegom, da ne ineem - Sedinoj lichoj, kručinoju! Rastrepal tebja, rodimuju, Da ne veter, da ne ljutyj vrag - Rastrepal tebja mudrenyj zver', Čto mudrenyj zver' - zmeja-toska!.. Boroda l' moja, boroduška! Boroda l' moja bobrovaja!
