Skaži, fialka, otčego
Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)
«Skaži, fialka, otčego
Tak rano k nam ty vorotilas',
Kogda v poljach ni odnogo
Ešče cvetka ne raspustilos'?»
— «Bedna narjadom i mala,
JA mež drugich cvetov nezrima,
I esli b s nimi ja cvela,
Ty, možet byt', prošel by mimo».
