by Aleksey Vasil'yevich Kol'tsov (1808 - 1842)

Vo shirokoj stepi
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vo shirokoj stepi
Na razdol`ny'x polyax
Mnogo divny'x czvetov
Rasczvetaet vesnoj.

No oni ne plenyat
Menya chudnoj krasoj;
Ix ne budu ya rvat`
I ne stanu sbirat`:

Mne venka dlya druzhka
Uzh iz nix ne svivat`.

Te i dni protekli,
Kak iskala ya ix,
I to vremya davno
Ognem budto sozhglo.

Vy' czvetite zh, czvety',
Vo shirokoj stepi,
U menya zh v dni vesny'
Serdce vyanet v grudi.
