Vot on, maj, svetlyj maj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Vot on, maj, svetlyj maj, Vot on, svetlyj maj! Ėj, chozjajka, radi Boga, Ne goni nas ot poroga, Košelek tugoj nam daj! Nam ne est', nam ne pit', Nam by svečku zasvetit', Prečistoj Deve ugodit'! Vot on, maj, svetlyj maj! Vot on, svetlyj maj! Vse polja polny pšenicej, Iisus vozdast storicej, Ždi spasen'ja, ždi nagrad Za chleba i vinograd. Christa molim, Boga molim, Pust' Ego svjataja volja Vam podast presvetlyj raj! Vot on, maj, svetlyj maj, Vot on, svetlyj maj!
