Krasnyj sarafan
Language: Russian (Русский)
,,Ne shej ty mne, matushka, krasnyj sarafan, ne vkhodi, rodimaja, popustu v iz"jan. Rano moju kosyn'ku na dve raspletat', prikazhi mne rusuju v lentu ubirat'! Pushchaj ne pokrytaja shelkovoj fatoj ochi molodeckije Radujet soboj! To li zhit'e devich'e, chtob jego menjat', toropit'sja zamuzhem okhat' da vzdykhat'? Zolotaja voljushka mne milej vsego. Ne khochu ja s voljushkoj v svete nichego!`` ,,Ditja mojo, ditjatko, dochka milaja! Golovka pobednaja, nerazumnaja! Ne vek tebe ptashechkoj zvonko raspevat', legkokryloj babochkoj po cvetam porkhat'. Zableknut na shchechen'kakh makovy cvety, priskuchat zabavushki, stoskujesh'sja ty! A my i pri starosti sebja veselim, mladost' vspominajuchi, na detej gljadim! I ja molodeshen'ka byla takova, i mne te zhe v devushkakh pelisja slova.``
