by Ivan Andreyevich Krylov (1769 - 1844)

Muzy'kanty'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Sosed soseda zval otkushat`;
No umy'sel drugoj tut by'l:
Xozyain muzy'ku lyubil
I zamanil k sebe soseda pevchix slushat`.
Zapeli molodcy': kto v les, kto po drova,
I u kogo chto sily' stalo.
V ushax u gostya zatreshhalo
I zakruzhilas` golova.
«Pomiluj ty' menya, — skazal on s udivlen`em, —
Chem lyubovat`sya tut? Tvoj xor
Gorlanit vzdor!» —
«To pravda, — otvechal xozyain s umilen`em, —
Oni nemnozhechko derut;
Zato uzh v rot xmel`nogo ne berut.
I vse s prekrasny'm poveden`em».

A ya skazhu: po mne uzh luchshe pej,
Da delo razumej.
