by Pyotr Andreyevich Vyazemsky (1792 - 1878)

Trojka mchitsya, trojka skachet
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Trojka mchitsya, trojka skachet,
V`etsya py'l` iz-pod kopy't,
Kolokol`chik zvonko plachet,
I xoxochet, i vizzhit. 
Pripev:
 Din`… Edu, edu, edu k nej,
 Edu k milen`koj moej.
 Edu, edu, edu k nej,
 Edu k milen`koj moej.

Po doroge golosisto
Razdayotsya yarkij zvon,
To vdali otbryaknet chisto
To zastonet gluxo on. 

Slovno leshij ved`me vtorit
I aukaetsya s nej,
Il` rusalka taratorit
V roshhe zvuchny'x kamy'shej. 

Russkoj stepi, nochi temnoj
Poe`ticheskaya vest`! 
Mnogo v nej i dumy' tomnoj,
I razdol`ya mnogo est`. 

Pryanul mesyacz iz-za tuchi,
Obognul svoyo kol`czo
I posy'pal blesk zy'buchij
Pryamo putniku v liczo. 

Kto sej putnik? I otkole,
I dalek li put` emu? 
Po nevoli il` po vole
Mchitsya on v nochnuyu t`mu? 

Na vesel`e il` kruchinu,
K blizhnim li pod krov rodnoj
Ili v grustnuyu chuzhbinu
On speshit, golubchik moj? 

Serdce v nem retivo rvyotsya
V put` obratny'j ili vdal`? 
Vstrechi l` zhdyot on ne dozhdyotsya
Il` pokinutogo zhal`? 

Zhdyot li persten` obruchal`ny'j,
Zhdut li putnika piry'
Ili fakel pogrebal`ny'j
Nad mogiloyu sestry'? 

Kak uznat`? Uzh on daleko! 
Mesyacz v oblako ny'rnul,
I v pustoj dali gluboko
Kolokol`chik uzh zasnul.
