Krasnyj sarafan
Language: Russian (Русский) 
,,Ne šej ty mne, matuška,
krasnyj sarafan,
ne vchodi, rodimaja,
popustu v iz"jan.

Rano moju kosyn'ku
na dve raspletat',
prikaži mne rusuju
v lentu ubirat'!

Puščaj ne pokrytaja
šelkovoj fatoj
oči molodeckie
Raduet soboj!

To li žit'e devič'e,
čtob ego menjat',
toropit'sja zamužem
ochat' da vzdychat'?

Zolotaja voljuška
mne milej vsego.
Ne choču ja s voljuškoj
v svete ničego!``

,,Ditja moë, ditjatko,
dočka milaja!
Golovka pobednaja,
nerazumnaja!

Ne vek tebe ptašečkoj
zvonko raspevat',
legkokryloj babočkoj
po cvetam porchat'.

Zableknut na ščečen'kach
makovy cvety,
priskučat zabavuški,
stoskueš'sja ty!

A my i pri starosti
sebja veselim,
mladost' vspominajuči, 
na detej gljadim!

I ja molodešen'ka
byla takova,
i mne te že v devuškach
pelisja slova.``
