Translation by Vasily Pavlovich Chuyevsky
Ne kukušečka vo syrom boru kukovala
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Russian (Русский)
Ne kukušečka Vo syrom boru Kukovala; Moja milaja V svetlom tereme Toskovala. S utra do noči Iz očej Sleza vsë katilas'. I golovuška Na grud' beluju Priklonilas'. Ty ne plač', ne plač' Ne gorjuj, duša, Ne pečal'sja; Požalej sebja, Požalej menja, Ne terzajsja. JA i sam v toske Gorjuč'imi slezami Oblivajus'; Bez tebja, duša, Zloj kručinoju Ubivajus'. Žal' tebja navek, Druga milogo, Mne pokinut'; Legče bylo by Iz grudi moej Serdce vynut'. Ždu ne radosti I ne sčastija, Ždu mogily; A zabyt' tebja, Razljubit' tebja Netu sily.
