from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Poluchil pis`mo ot devushki
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Poluchil pis`mo ot devushki sejchas,
Stal chitat` ya, polilis` slezy' iz glaz.
Pishet raskrasavicza moya:
«Pridi, batyushka, smertel`no ya bol`na;
A ne prijdesh`, skoro zhizni ya lishus`,
S toboj, batyushka, zaochno rasproshhus`».
Ax, devicy', rassudite grust`-pechal`:
Mne krasaviczu smertel`no bol`no zhal`.
Ne mila mne zdes` prekrasna storona:
Ne gulyaet zdes` krasavicza moya,
Xorovody' ne uteshat moix slez,
YA pojdu s gorya poplakat` v temny'j les.
YA pojdu l` eshhe po mily'm tem sledam,
Gde ya prezhde so krasavicej gulyal,
Gde lyubeznuyu priyatno celoval.
Na tom meste uzh i travka ne rastet,
Na tom meste i czvetochki ne czvetut,
Na kustochkax melki ptashki ne poyut,
Nebesa-to pokry'valis` temnotoj,
YA skoreshen`ko ko devushke poshel.
YA tixoxon`ko v okoshko postuchal:
«Otopri dveri, krasavicza, - skazal.
So postelyushki vskochila moloda,
Otkry'vala shirokie vorota,
Prinimala za bely' ruki menya,
Czelovala menya v saxarny' usta:
«Zdravstvuj, batyushka, krasavchik dorogoj,
Privela nas sud`ba vstretit`sya s toboj!».
