K dedushke
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Rasskazhi mne starichok,
Kak zhivali v stary gody,
Kak pljasali pod gudok
I vodili khorovody.
Kak byval ty molodcom,
Kak krasavicy khodili
Poguljat' s toboj tajkom, -
Nu, pro vse, kak prezhde zhili!

Skuchno, pravo, skuchno, drug,
Serdce tak vot i tomitsja:
Pogljadish', kak svet vokrug
Iz pustogo sujetitsja!
My toskujem, ne zhivem,
I podchas, khot' bezumolku
Pljashem nekhotja, pojem,
A vse plachem vtikhomolku,.

Chto zhe zhdet nas vperedi?.
Kak posmotrish', pogadajesh':
Retivoje-to v grudi
I zanojet pushche – znajesh'!
Nut-ko, dedushka, khot' spoj
Il' skazhi nam, chto li, skazku,
Il' s otvagoj molodoj
Pokazhi svoju nam pljasku!
