Ėl'zasskaja Ballada
Language: Russian (Русский)
Žil v strane korol'. On star i beden byl. Iz vsech sokrovišč sochranil liš' doč' svoju Gertrudu. Žil s nim rycar' znatnyj, ego Garol'dom zvali. Iz vsech krasavic on ljubil liš' junuju Gertrudu. No zloj rok sulil ich ljubvi konec inoj. Saracin ubil ego v boju za krest svjatoj... I s toj pory ona vsë ždet, čto on pridet k Gertrude... Dnëm il' noč'ju temnoju ona vsë podžidala... I v stradan'jach bednaja rassudok poterjala... I s toj pory ona vsë ždet, čto on pridet k Gertrude... Žil v strane korol'. On star i beden byl. Iz vsech sokrovišč sochranil liš' doč' svoju Gertrudu. Tak pelas' pesn' v moej strane...
