Ballada
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Gornoj tropinkoj iz lesa
Tikho korol' vyezzhal;
Vniz on vzgljanul, i nevestu
Richarda tam uvidal,
Tam on nevestu strelka uvidal.
On pomchalsja vsled za neju:
`Ej, obernis' poskoreje,
Nezhnyj primi moj privet!
Vmeste pojdem my, moj svet!
- Net! Net!

Devushka milaja, vidish',
Rycar' stoit pred toboj,
Bednost' navek pozabudesh',
Jesli pojdesh' ty za mnoj,
Jesli ty pojdesh' za mnoj.
Na okhote sokolinoj
Ty po goram i dolinam
Budesh' skakat' na kone,
Chto zh otvetish' ty mne?
- Net! Net!

Mozhet byt', san baronessy
Bol'she tebja privlechet?
Gerb tvoj dve l'vicy ukrasjat,
Zhemchug chelo obov'et,
Zhemchug rjadami chelo obov'et!
Baronessu s poklonom
Vstretjat knjaz'ja i barony,
Znati pridvornoj ves' cvet;
Chto zh ty mne skazhesh' v otvet?
- Net! Net!

Khochesh' ty byt' korolevoj?
Zdes' sam korol' pred toboj,
Slovo skazhi, i gordit'sja
Smozhesh' svojej ty sud'boj,
Smozhesh' gordit'sja svojeju sud'boj.
V korolevskoj korone
Vyjdesh' pred svitoj pokornoj.
Chto zh, soglasish'sja l' togda?
Chto zh, soglasish'sja l' togda?
- Da! Da!
