Volja
Language: Russian (Русский)
Moja mat' — zlaja kručina, Otcom že byla mne — sud'bina; Moi brat'ja, chot' ljudi, Ne chotjat k moej grudi Prižat'sja, Im stydno so mnoju, S bednym sirotoju, Obnjat'sja! No mne bogom dana Molodaja žena, Volja-voljuška, Vol'nost' milaja, Nesravnennaja; S nej našlis' drugie u menja Mat', otec i sem'ja: A moja mat' — step' širokaja, A moj otec — nebo dalëkoe; Oni menja vospitali, Kormili, poili, laskali; Moi brat'ja v lesach — Berëzy da sosny. Nesus' li ja na kone — Step' otvečaet mne; Brožu li pozdnej poroj — Nebo svetit mne lunoj; Moi brat'ja, v letnij den' Prizyvaja pod ten', Mašut izdali rukami, Kivajut mne golovami. I vol'nost' mne gnezdo svila, Kak mir — neob"jatnoe!
