by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Svat Ivan, kak pit' my stanem
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Svat Ivan, kak pit' my stanem,
Nepremenno už pomjanem
Trech Matrën, Luku s Petrom,
Da Pachomovnu potom.
My živali s nimi družno,
Už kak chočeš' — bud' čto bud' —
Ėtich nado pomjanut',
Pomjanut' nam ėtich nužno.
Pominat', tak pominat',
Načinat', tak načinat',
Lit', tak lit', razliv razlivom.
Načinaj-ka, svat, pora.
Trëch Matrën, Luku, Petra
V pervyj raz pomjanem pivom,
A Pachomovnu potom
Pirogami da vinom,
Da eščë eë pomjanem:
Skazki skazyvat' my stanem —
Masterica ved' byla
I otkuda čto brala.
A kudy razumny šutki,
Prigovorki, pribautki,
Nebylicy, byliny
Pravoslavnoj stariny!...
Slušat', tak duše otradno.
I ne pil by i ne el,
Vsë by slušal da sidel.
Kto pridumal ich tak ladno?
Starikov kogda-nibud'
(Žal', teper' nam  dosužno)
Nado budet pomjanut' —
Pomjanut' i ėtich nužno...
Slušaj, svat, načnu pervoj,
Skazka budet za toboj.
