Mnogo dev u nas v gorakh
Language: Russian (Русский)
Mnogo dev u nas v gorakh, Noch' i zvezdy v ikh ochakh; S nimi zhit' zavidna dolja, - No jeshche mileje volja! Ne zhenisja, molodec, Slushajsja menja: Na te den'gi, molodec, Ty kupi konja! Kto zhenit'sja zakhotel, Tot khudoj izbral udel, S russkim v boj on ne poskachet: Otchego? - zhena zaplachet! Ne zhenisja, molodec, Slushajsja menja: Na te den'gi, molodec, Ty kupi konja! Ne izmenit dobryj kon': S nim - i v vodu i v ogon'; On kak vikhr' v stepi shirokoj, S nim - vse blizko, chto daleko. Ne zhenisja, molodec, Slushajsja menja: Na te den'gi, molodec, Ty kupi konja!
