Ot berezy' k trem dubkam dolom cherez bor
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ot berezy' k trem dubkam dolom cherez bor
k granovitoj sosnѣ –
na mezhѣ
churka staraya lezhit,
v churkѣ znaxar` Chur sokry't.
Mordasten`kij,
kudlasten`kij
nosok – smorchek,
a v volosѣ, chto rog,
torchit chertopolox.

E`j ty', chur-churachek-churbachek,
            Chur menya chur!

Nuzhen Churu glaz da glaz, kak raz ne promorgaj:
chto ni chas – to bѣda; ni godina – napast`
neminuchaya.
Von vor –
vy'rvet churku vor! – Chur zashhurilsya, da xvat`…
            - Chur menya, chur!

A ruki svedeny' i soxnut, kak kovy'l`:
zabudesh` vorovat`.

Na churkѣ Chur zavodit zorkij glaz.
Serdechny'j drug, postoj, ne zadremli…
Kosa –
Zvenit kosa, poet i mashet, mashet tak –
lyazg! Lyazg! po churbanu – Chur na dy'by' da za kosu…
            – Chur menya, chur!
I vostraya izlomana, kosa moya, kosa,
ne razmaxivajsya skósa.
Na churakѣ svernulsya Chur, xot` chutochku vsxrapnut`:
ot zor` do zor` i za lazorevu zvѣzdu
na storozhѣ stoyat`,
da spusku ne davat`.
Bez pal`cza ruka,
bez mizincza noga
s bashkoj golova.

E`j ty', chur-churachek-churbachek,
            Chur menya, chur!

Klad prisumnitsya, ne roj,
Chura zovi, – znaet zarok…
Von voron –
Voron-kruk – kradetsya Korochun – kar, kar…
            Chur menya, chur!
Chur: chrr! – i kruk za krug: krr-krr…
Spasibo, Chur – chtob lopnul Korochun:
ni dna emu i ni pokry'shki.
