by Alexei Vasilyevich Timofeyev (1812 - 1883)

Boroda
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Boroda l' moja, borodushka!
Boroda l' moja bobrovaja!
Posedela ty, borodushka,
Do pory svojej, do vremeni!
Povedesh', byvalo, garknuvshi,
Usom chernym, molodeckiim -
Krasna devica ognem gorit,
Doch' bojarska tajet v polymi!
Prikushu tebja, kosmataja, -
Basurmanin zloj s konja letit,
Drjablyj nemec v nory prjachetsja!

Zaneslo tebja, kudrjavuju,
Da ne snegom, da ne inejem -
Sedinoj likhoj, kruchinoju!
Rastrepal tebja, rodimuju,
Da ne veter, da ne ljutyj vrag -
Rastrepal tebja mudrenyj zver',
Chto mudrenyj zver' - zmeja-toska!..
Boroda l' moja, borodushka!
Boroda l' moja bobrovaja!
