by Vasili Ivanovich Krasov (1810 - 1854)

За рекою, за десной
Language: Russian (Русский) 
За рекою, за Десной,
Есть шинкарочка одна,
У шинкарки молодой
Много меду и вина.

И к ней с утренней зари
Наезжают молодцы,
И гуляют до зари
Из Чернигова купцы.

К ней обозы пристают,
Наливаются ковши,
И танцуют, и поют
У шинкарочки-души.

Али мед у ней иной,
Али водка веселей,
Что у Сары молодой
Полон двор шумит гостей?

Нет, к шинкарке молодой
Ручки белые манят,
Под пунцовою чалмой
Очи черные горят;

Слышно, горек сладкий мед,
Если нет ее речей:
Так за тем-то весь народ
Приворачивает к ней.
