by Alexei Vasilyevich Timofeyev (1812 - 1883)

Kajus', djadja, čërt poputal!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kajus', djadja, čërt poputal,
chot' serdic', chot' ne serdis'!
JA vljublën, da vot už kak že!
Chot' sejčas že v petlju lez'!
Ne v krasavicu, bog s nimi!
Čto v krasavicach za prok!
Ne v učenuju, bud' prokljat ves'
učenyj ženskij svet!
JA vljubilsja, djadja, v čudo!
V svoj dvojnik, v drugoe ja!

V smes' pritvorstva s prostoduš'em,
s bezzabotnost'ju chandry,
v smes' uma i vol'nodumstva,
ravnodušija, ognja,
very v svet, prezren'ja k mnen'ju,
slovom, v smes' dobra i zla!
Tak by vsë eë i slušal, 
tak by vsë s nej i sidel!
Angel serdcem, no, kak demon,
i kovarna i umna!

Skažet slovo - tak i taeš',
zapoët - i sam ne svoj.
Djadja! djadja! čto vsja slava,
čto vse počesti, činy!
Ja, ona, i v ėtom kruge
ves' moj mir, moj raj i ad!
Smejsja, djadja, nado mnoju!
Smejsja, ves' razumnyj svet!
Pust' čudak ja, -
ja dovolen, ja sčastlivejšij čudak!
