by Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva (1892 - 1941)

Cyganskaja svad'ba
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Iz-pod kopyt
Grjaz' letit.
Pered licom
Shal' — kak shchit.
Bez molodykh
Guljajte, svaty!
`Ej, vynosi,
Kon' kosmatyj!

Né dali voli nam
Otec i mat',
Celoje pole nam —
Brachnaja krovat'!
P'jan bez vina i bez khleba syt, —
`Eto cyganskaja svad'ba mchit!

Polon stakan,
Pust stakan.
Gomon gitarnyj, luna i grjaz'.
Vpravo i vlevo kachnulsja stan.
Knjazem — cygan!
Cyganom — knjaz'!
`Ej, gospodin, beregis', — zhzhjot!
`Eto cyganskaja svad'ba p'jot!

Tam, na vorokhe
Shalej i shub,
Zvon i shorokh
Stali i gub.
Zvjaknuli shpory,
V otvet — monista.
Svistnul pod ch'ej-to rukoju
Shjolk.
Kto-to zavyl kak volk,
Kto-to kak byk khrapit.
— `Eto cyganskaja svad'ba spit.
