Ballada
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Gornoj tropinkoj iz lesa
Tixo korol` vy'ezzhal;
Vniz on vzglyanul, i nevestu
Richarda tam uvidal,
Tam on nevestu strelka uvidal.
On pomchalsya vsled za neyu:
E`j, obernis` poskoree,
Nezhny'j primi moj privet!
Vmeste pojdem my', moj svet!
- Net! Net!

Devushka milaya, vidish`,
Ry'czar` stoit pred toboj,
Bednost` navek pozabudesh`,
Esli pojdesh` ty' za mnoj,
Esli ty' pojdesh` za mnoj.
Na oxote sokolinoj
Ty' po goram i dolinam
Budesh` skakat` na kone,
Chto zh otvetish` ty' mne?
- Net! Net!

Mozhet by't`, san baronessy'
Bol`she tebya privlechet?
Gerb tvoj dve l`vicy' ukrasyat,
Zhemchug chelo obov`et,
Zhemchug ryadami chelo obov`et!
Baronessu s poklonom
Vstretyat knyaz`ya i barony',
Znati pridvornoj ves` czvet;
Chto zh ty' mne skazhesh` v otvet?
- Net! Net!

Xochesh` ty' by't` korolevoj?
Zdes` sam korol` pred toboj,
Slovo skazhi, i gordit`sya
Smozhesh` svoej ty' sud`boj,
Smozhesh` gordit`sya svoeyu sud`boj.
V korolevskoj korone
Vy'jdesh` pred svitoj pokornoj.
Chto zh, soglasish`sya l` togda?
Chto zh, soglasish`sya l` togda?
- Da! Da!
