by Nikolai Alekseyevich Nekrasov (1821 - 1877)
Translation

Katerina
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the Russian (Русский) 
Vjanet, propadajet krasota moja!
Ot likhogo muzha v dome net zhit'ja.

Akh, kak ne khotela ja idti k vencu!
Plakalas' sosedjam, plakalas' otcu.

Plakalas' sosedjam, matushke rodnoj,
Nikto ne zhalejet – ni chuzhoj, ni svoj!

Jest' soldatik Fedja, dal'njaja rodnja,
On odin zhalejet, berezhet menja.

Kak pojdu ja s Fedej v temnyj les guljat',
Budet menja Fedja krepko obnimat'.

«Gde zh ty propadala?» - sprosit muzhenek.
«Gde byla, tam netu! Tak-to, moj druzhok!»

On i pokolotit, ne velik naklad, -
Za milogo poboi dolgo ne boljat!

Vjanet, propadajet krasota moja!
Ot likhogo muzha v dome net zhit'ja.
