Translation by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)
Ballada
Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)
Iz vorot vyezzhajut tri vitjazja v rjad,
uvy!
Iz okna tri krasotki vo sled im gljadjat:
prosti!
Naprasno v bojakh oni l'jut svoju krov' -
uvy!
Razluka prishla - i devich'ja ljubov'
prosti!
Uzh tri vitjazja novykh v vorota speshat,
uvy!
I krasotki pechali svojej govorjat:
prosti!
