Boroda
Language: Russian (Русский)
Boroda l` moya, borodushka! Boroda l` moya bobrovaya! Posedela ty', borodushka, Do pory' svoej, do vremeni! Povedesh`, by'valo, garknuvshi, Usom cherny'm, molodeczkiim - Krasna devicza ognem gorit, Doch` boyarska taet v poly'mi! Prikushu tebya, kosmataya, - Basurmanin zloj s konya letit, Dryably'j nemecz v nory' pryachetsya! Zaneslo tebya, kudryavuyu, Da ne snegom, da ne ineem - Sedinoj lixoj, kruchinoyu! Rastrepal tebya, rodimuyu, Da ne veter, da ne lyuty'j vrag - Rastrepal tebya mudreny'j zver`, Chto mudreny'j zver` - zmeya-toska!.. Boroda l` moya, borodushka! Boroda l` moya bobrovaya!
