by Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva (1892 - 1941)

Cyganskaja svad'ba
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Iz-pod kopyt
Grjaz' letit.
Pered licom
Šal' — kak ščit.
Bez molodych
Guljajte, svaty!
Ėj, vynosi,
Kon' kosmatyj!

Né dali voli nam
Otec i mat',
Celoe pole nam —
Bračnaja krovat'!
P'jan bez vina i bez chleba syt, —
Ėto cyganskaja svad'ba mčit!

Polon stakan,
Pust stakan.
Gomon gitarnyj, luna i grjaz'.
Vpravo i vlevo kačnulsja stan.
Knjazem — cygan!
Cyganom — knjaz'!
Ėj, gospodin, beregis', — žžët!
Ėto cyganskaja svad'ba p'ët!

Tam, na voroche
Šalej i šub,
Zvon i šoroch
Stali i gub.
Zvjaknuli špory,
V otvet — monista.
Svistnul pod č'ej-to rukoju
Šëlk.
Kto-to zavyl kak volk,
Kto-to kak byk chrapit.
— Ėto cyganskaja svad'ba spit.
