by Lev Aleksandrovich Mey (1822 - 1862)

V pole širokom
Language: Russian (Русский) 
V pole širokom železom kopyt
Vzryto zelenoe žito,
Tam pod plakučej berezoj ležit
Molodec tajno ubityj!

Molodec tajno ubityj ležit,
Tajno v travu schoronennyj,
Ves' on, bednjažka, kitajkoj pokryt,
Tonkoj kitajkoj červonnoj!

Vot pod berezu devica prišla,
Rozoj ona rascvetala,
S molodca ticho kitajku snjala,
Strastno ego celovala.

Vot i drugaja devica prišla,
Oči sijali zvezdami.
S molodca ticho kitajku snjala,
Vsja zalilasja slezami.

Tret'ja prišla, i gorel ee vzor,
Molvila: «Spit - ne razbudiš';
Spi, moj golubčik, teper' trech sester
Bol'še ljubit' ty ne budeš'!
