by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840 - 1893)

Соловушко
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Улетал соловушко далёко,
во чужую тёплую сторонку.
Улетал соловушко далёко,
во чужую тёплую сторонку.

Вы прощайте, люди добрые, на долго,
улететь пора моя настала!
На долго прощаюсь с вами, люди!
Улететь пора моя настала!

И спасибо вам за вашу любовь, за ласку,
что меня, соловушку, не гнали,
песни петь мне, соловью, не мешали,
малых деток моих не забижали!

И остался б я теперь с вами,
да лиха беда ваши морозы;
не люблю зимы вашей белой,
не люблю я буйного ветра!

А уж как весна красна вернётся,
с ней и я вернусь к вам с новой песней,
я вернусь к вам с новой песней!
