Голубь
Language: Russian (Русский)
Голубь к терему припал. Кто там, что там подсмотрел? Голубь телом нежно бел На оконце ж цветик ал. Белый голубь ворковал Он цветочком завладел Он его зачаровал Насладился улетел. Ах ты белый голубок Позабыл ты ал цветок, Ах ты белый голубок Воротись хоть на часок!

Le pigeon
Language: French (Français) after the Russian (Русский)
L'oiseau sur le toit se pose, Où donc? Là, le voyez vous, Le pigeon si blanc, si doux? Là fleurit la rouge rose. Le pigeon s'est approché, Sur la fleur il s'est penché, Il la charme, il la séduit, Puis, volage, il s'enfuit. Hélas, joli pigeon blanc, Ne fuis pas, sois moins méchant, Hélas, joli pigeon blanc, Reviens donc pour un instant!
