Mnogo dev u nas v gorach
Language: Russian (Русский)
Mnogo dev u nas v gorach, Noč' i zvezdy v ich očach; S nimi žit' zavidna dolja, - No ešče milee volja! Ne ženisja, molodec, Slušajsja menja: Na te den'gi, molodec, Ty kupi konja! Kto ženit'sja zachotel, Tot chudoj izbral udel, S russkim v boj on ne poskačet: Otčego? - žena zaplačet! Ne ženisja, molodec, Slušajsja menja: Na te den'gi, molodec, Ty kupi konja! Ne izmenit dobryj kon': S nim - i v vodu i v ogon'; On kak vichr' v stepi širokoj, S nim - vse blizko, čto daleko. Ne ženisja, molodec, Slušajsja menja: Na te den'gi, molodec, Ty kupi konja!
