K deduške
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Rasskaži mne staričok,
Kak živali v stary gody,
Kak pljasali pod gudok
I vodili chorovody.
Kak byval ty molodcom,
Kak krasavicy chodili
Poguljat' s toboj tajkom, -
Nu, pro vse, kak prežde žili!

Skučno, pravo, skučno, drug,
Serdce tak vot i tomitsja:
Pogljadiš', kak svet vokrug
Iz pustogo suetitsja!
My toskuem, ne živem,
I podčas, chot' bezumolku
Pljašem nechotja, poem,
A vse plačem vtichomolku,.

Čto že ždet nas vperedi?.
Kak posmotriš', pogadaeš':
Retivoe-to v grudi
I zanoet pušče – znaeš'!
Nut-ko, deduška, chot' spoj
Il' skaži nam, čto li, skazku,
Il' s otvagoj molodoj
Pokaži svoju nam pljasku!
