Shipovnik
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Shipovnik aly'j,
Shipovnik bely'j.
Odin — ustaly'j,
I onemely'j,
Drugoj — vlyublyonny'j,
Lenivo-strastny'j,
Dushisty'j, sonny'j,
I krasny'j, krasny'j.

Edva vzdy'xaya,
I cepeneya,
V dy'xanii maya
Vlyublyayas`, mleya,
Oni mechtayut
O nevozmozhnom,
I doczvetayut
Vo sne trevozhnom.

I blizko, blizko
Odin k drugomu,
V kornyax, tak nizko,
Xranyat istomu,
V listax, v vershinax,
V czvetax, povsyudu,
I v snax ediny'x
Otkry'lis` chudu.

O, chudo maya
Neotvratimo!
No vremya, taya,
Proxodit mimo,
No maj ustanet,
I onemeet,
I veter vstanet,
Czvety' razveet.

Ix rok — by't` ryadom
I zhazhdat` slit`sya,
Ix rok — lish` vzglyadom
Soedinit`sya.
O, son ustaly'j,
O, vzdox nesmely'j!
Shipovnik aly'j,
Shipovnik bely'j.
