Krasny'j sarafan
Language: Russian (Русский) 
,,Ne shej ty' mne, matushka,
krasny'j sarafan,
ne vxodi, rodimaya,
popustu v iz``yan.

Rano moyu kosy'n`ku
na dve raspletat`,
prikazhi mne rusuyu
v lentu ubirat`!

Pushhaj ne pokry'taya
shelkovoj fatoj
ochi molodeczkie
Raduet soboj!

To li zhit`e devich`e,
chtob ego menyat`,
toropit`sya zamuzhem
oxat` da vzdy'xat`?

Zolotaya volyushka
mne milej vsego.
Ne xochu ya s volyushkoj
v svete nichego!``

,,Ditya moyo, dityatko,
dochka milaya!
Golovka pobednaya,
nerazumnaya!

Ne vek tebe ptashechkoj
zvonko raspevat`,
legkokry'loj babochkoj
po czvetam porxat`.

Zableknut na shhechen`kax
makovy' czvety',
priskuchat zabavushki,
stoskuesh`sya ty'!

A my' i pri starosti
sebya veselim,
mladost` vspominayuchi, 
na detej glyadim!

I ya molodeshen`ka
by'la takova,
i mne te zhe v devushkax
pelisya slova.``
