from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Katerina
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ja sidela do sumerek,
Pokazalysja den' malenek,
Pora do dyvora.
`Ekh, pora do dvora,
Ne pora lidy da dyvora
Celovati molodca?

Ne zabud' menjady da,
Katerinushka, `ekh!
Ja dy togda tebja zabudu,
Dy kogda v devkakh zhit' ne budu.
Katerinushka, `ekh, Katerinushka!
Ty ne plach', Katjusha!

Otdavali molodu da
Na chuzhuju dy storonu.
Da ne za ravynjushku,
`Ekh, ne za ravnjushku.
Ty sadisja da,
Katja, s nami, 
Da pojedem my guljat'.

Malysha nekat'-dy da,
Malysha iskat', `ekh!
Ty ne plach', ty ne plach', 
Katjusha, ty ne plach',
Milaja podruzhka.
Katerinushka, `ekh, Katerinushka!
Ty ne plach', Katjusha!
