from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Катерина
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Я сидела до сумерек,
Показалыся день маленек,
Пора до дывора.
Эх, пора до двора,
Не пора лиды да дывора
Целовати молодца?

Не забудь меняды да,
Катеринушка, эх!
Я ды тогда тебя забуду,
Ды когда в девках жить не буду.
Катеринушка, эх, Катеринушка!
Ты не плачь, Катюша!

Отдавали молоду да
На чужую ды сторону.
Да не за равынюшку,
Эх, не за равнюшку.
Ты садися да,
Катя, с нами, 
Да поедем мы гулять.

Малыша некать-ды да,
Малыша искать, эх!
Ты не плачь, ты не плачь, 
Катюша, ты не плачь,
Милая подружка.
Катеринушка, эх, Катеринушка!
Ты не плачь, Катюша!
