Solovej
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Serbian (Српски)
Solovej moj, solovejko! Ptica malaja, lesnaja! U tebja l', u maloj pticy, Nezamennye tri pesni, U menja li, u molodca, Tri velikie zaboty! Kak už pervaja zabota -- Rano molodca ženili; A vtoraja-to zabota -- Voron kon' moj pritomilsja; Kak už tret'ja-to zabota -- Krasnu-devicu so mnoju Razlučili zlye ljudi. Vy kopajte mne mogilu Vo pole, pole širokom, V golovach mne posadite Aly cvetiki-cvetočki, A v nogach mne provedite Čistu vodu ključevuju. Projdut mimo krasny devki, Tak spletut sebe [venočki]1: Projdut mimo stary ljudi, Tak vody sebe začerpnut.
