by Pyotr Andreyevich Vyazemsky (1792 - 1878)

Trojka mchitsja, trojka skachet
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Trojka mchitsja, trojka skachet,
V'etsja pyl' iz-pod kopyt,
Kolokol'chik zvonko plachet,
I khokhochet, i vizzhit. 
Pripev:
 Din'… Jedu, jedu, jedu k nej,
 Jedu k milen'koj mojej.
 Jedu, jedu, jedu k nej,
 Jedu k milen'koj mojej.

Po doroge golosisto
Razdajotsja jarkij zvon,
To vdali otbrjaknet chisto
To zastonet glukho on. 

Slovno leshij ved'me vtorit
I aukajetsja s nej,
Il' rusalka taratorit
V roshche zvuchnykh kamyshej. 

Russkoj stepi, nochi temnoj
Po`eticheskaja vest'! 
Mnogo v nej i dumy tomnoj,
I razdol'ja mnogo jest'. 

Prjanul mesjac iz-za tuchi,
Obognul svojo kol'co
I posypal blesk zybuchij
Prjamo putniku v lico. 

Kto sej putnik? I otkole,
I dalek li put' jemu? 
Po nevoli il' po vole
Mchitsja on v nochnuju t'mu? 

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

Serdce v nem retivo rvjotsja
V put' obratnyj ili vdal'? 
Vstrechi l' zhdjot on ne dozhdjotsja
Il' pokinutogo zhal'? 

Zhdjot li persten' obruchal'nyj,
Zhdut li putnika piry
Ili fakel pogrebal'nyj
Nad mogiloju sestry? 

Kak uznat'? Uzh on daleko! 
Mesjac v oblako nyrnul,
I v pustoj dali gluboko
Kolokol'chik uzh zasnul.
