Буря мглою небо кроет, Вихри снежные крутя; То, как зверь, она завоет, То заплачет, как дитя, То по кровле обветшалой Вдруг соломой зашумит, То, как путник запоздалый, К нам в окошко застучит. Наша ветхая лачужка И печальна и темна. Что же ты, моя старушка, Приумолкла у окна? Или бури завываньем Ты, мой друг, утомлена, Или дремлешь под жужжаньем Своего веретена? [Выпьем, добрая подружка Бедной юности моей, Выпьем с горя; где же кружка? Сердцу будет веселей. Спой мне песню, как синица Тихо за морем жила; Спой мне песню, как девица За водой поутру шла.]1 Буря мглою небо кроет, Вихри снежные крутя; То, как зверь, она завоет, То заплачет, как дитя.

Спой мне песню, как синица Тихо за морем жила; Спой мне песню, как девица За водой поутру шла. Выпьем, добрая подружка Бедной юности моей, Выпьем с горя; где же кружка? Сердцу будет веселей.

Tobt der Sturm, den Tag verhüllt er, Treibt den Schnee im Wirbelwind? — Wie ein wildes Thier bald brüllt er, Wimmert bald wie'n kleines Kind ... Bald im strohbedeckten Dache Lärmt er voll Zerstörungswuth, Pocht bald laut am Fenfterfache, Wie wohl spät ein Wandrer thut. Morsche Hütte, Gott erhalte Dich in dieser Sturmesnacht! Was am Fenster, liebe Alte, Hat so schweigsam Dich gemacht? Machte Dich der Sturm verstummen Als Du spannst an Deinem Lein? Oder schliefst Du bei dem Summen Deiner trauten Spindel ein? Trink mit mir, Genossin, treue, Meiner armen Jugendzeit! Her den Becher! Und aufs Neue Wird das Herz voll Fröhlichkeit. Sing ein Lied mir, von der Meise, Die gehaust am Meeresring, Von dem Mädchen, das ganz leise Morgens früh zum Brunnen ging. Tobt der Sturm, den Tag verhüllt er, Treibt den Schnee im Wirbelwind; — Wie ein wildes Thier bald brüllt er, Wimmert bald wie'n kleines Kind. . . Trink mit mir, Genossin, treue, Meiner armen Jugendzeit! Her den Becher! Und aufs Neue Wird das Herz voll Fröhlichkeit.
