Volya
Language: Russian (Русский)
Moya mat` — zlaya kruchina, Otczom zhe by'la mne — sud`bina; Moi brat`ya, xot` lyudi, Ne xotyat k moej grudi Prizhat`sya, Im sty'dno so mnoyu, S bedny'm sirotoyu, Obnyat`sya! No mne bogom dana Molodaya zhena, Volya-volyushka, Vol`nost` milaya, Nesravnennaya; S nej nashlis` drugie u menya Mat`, otecz i sem`ya: A moya mat` — step` shirokaya, A moj otecz — nebo dalyokoe; Oni menya vospitali, Kormili, poili, laskali; Moi brat`ya v lesax — Beryozy' da sosny'. Nesus` li ya na kone — Step` otvechaet mne; Brozhu li pozdnej poroj — Nebo svetit mne lunoj; Moi brat`ya, v letnij den` Prizy'vaya pod ten`, Mashut izdali rukami, Kivayut mne golovami. I vol`nost` mne gnezdo svila, Kak mir — neob``yatnoe!
