Zhil‑byl odin car' staryj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Zhil-byl odin car' staryj, Surov dushoj i ves' sedoj; On, staryj, byl obvechan S krasotkoj molodoj. Krasavec belokuryj, Im pazh sluzhil, On molod byl I za svojej caricej Shlejf shelkovyj nosil. I vot pojetsja pesnja, Sladka ona i tak grustna: Ikh smert' vzjala oboikh, Ikh strast' byla sil'na, Ikh strast', ikh strast' byla sil'na!
