by Nikolay Vasil'yevich Berg (1824 - 1884)
Ach ty, tëmnyj les, Meletinskij les
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ach ty, tëmnyj les, Meletinskij les, Čto zimoju tak zeleneeš' ty? Rada, rada b ja ne kručinitsja, Da ne deržit slëz, serdce bednoe! Netu batjuški, spit v zemle syroj! I nad matuškoj travka vyrosla! Drug v čužoj zemle, ne vorotitsja, Tak nikto duše, ne otkliknëtsja!
