Полюбила я
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Ukrainian (Українська)
Полюбила я, На печаль свою, Сиротинушку Бесталанного. Уж такая [мне Доля]1 выпала! Разлучили нас Люди сильные; Увезли его, Сдали в рекруты... И солдаткой я, Одинокой я, Знать, в чужой избе И состареюсь... Уж такая [мне Доля]1 выпала.
