Žil‑byl odin car' staryj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Žil-byl odin car' staryj, Surov dušoj i ves' sedoj; On, staryj, byl obvečan S krasotkoj molodoj. Krasavec belokuryj, Im paž služil, On molod byl I za svoej caricej Šlejf šelkovyj nosil. I vot poetsja pesnja, Sladka ona i tak grustna: Ich smert' vzjala oboich, Ich strast' byla sil'na, Ich strast', ich strast' byla sil'na!
