by Alexei Vasilyevich Timofeyev (1812 - 1883)

Kayus`, dyadya, chyort poputal!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kayus`, dyadya, chyort poputal,
xot` serdicz`, xot` ne serdis`!
YA vlyublyon, da vot uzh kak zhe!
Xot` sejchas zhe v petlyu lez`!
Ne v krasaviczu, bog s nimi!
Chto v krasaviczax za prok!
Ne v uchenuyu, bud` proklyat ves`
ucheny'j zhenskij svet!
YA vlyubilsya, dyadya, v chudo!
V svoj dvojnik, v drugoe ya!

V smes` pritvorstva s prostodush`em,
s bezzabotnost`yu xandry',
v smes` uma i vol`nodumstva,
ravnodushiya, ognya,
very' v svet, prezren`ya k mnen`yu,
slovom, v smes` dobra i zla!
Tak by' vsyo eyo i slushal, 
tak by' vsyo s nej i sidel!
Angel serdcem, no, kak demon,
i kovarna i umna!

Skazhet slovo - tak i taesh`,
zapoyot - i sam ne svoj.
Dyadya! dyadya! chto vsya slava,
chto vse pochesti, chiny'!
Ya, ona, i v e`tom kruge
ves` moj mir, moj raj i ad!
Smejsya, dyadya, nado mnoyu!
Smejsya, ves` razumny'j svet!
Pust` chudak ya, -
ya dovolen, ya schastlivejshij chudak!
