Zhil‑by'l odin czar` stary'j
Language: Russian (Русский)
Zhil-by'l odin czar` stary'j, Surov dushoj i ves` sedoj; On, stary'j, by'l obvechan S krasotkoj molodoj. Krasavecz belokury'j, Im pazh sluzhil, On molod by'l I za svoej czaricej Shlejf shelkovy'j nosil. I vot poetsya pesnya, Sladka ona i tak grustna: Ix smert` vzyala oboix, Ix strast` by'la sil`na, Ix strast`, ix strast` by'la sil`na!
