by Aleksey Vasil'yevich Kol'tsov (1808 - 1842)

S radosti‑vesel'ja
Language: Russian (Русский) 
S radosti-vesel'ja
Khmelem kudri v'jutsja;
Ni s kakoj zaboty
Oni ne sekutsja.

Ikh ne greben' cheshet —
Zolotaja dolja,
Zavivajet v kol'cy
Molodecka udal'.

Ne rodis' bogatym,
A rodis' kudrjavym:
Po shchuch'emu velen'ju
Vse tebe gotovo.

Chego dusha khochet —
Iz zemli roditsja;
So vsekh storon pribyl'
Polzet i valitsja.

Chto shutja zadumal —
Poshla shutka v delo;
A trjakhnul kudrjami —
V odin mig pospelo.

Ne voz'mut gde loskom,
Voz'mut kudri siloj;
I chto khudo — smotrish',
Po vode poplylo!

Ljubo zhit' na svete
Molodcu s kudrjami,
Veselo na belom
S chernymi brovjami.

Vovremja da v poru
Medom rechi l'jutsja;
I s utra do nochi
Pesenki pojutsja.

Pro te rechi-pesni
Devushki vse znajut;
I o kudrjakh zimu
Noch' ne spjat, gadajut.

Chest' i slava kudrjam!
Pust' ikh volos v'etsja;
S nimi vse na svete
Lovko udajetsja!

Ne pod shapku gore
Golove kudrjavoj!
Razlivajtes' pesni!
Khodi, paren', bravo!
