Baben'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vstan' ty, duren', 
vstan' ty, baben', 
polno tebe spati!
,,Chto orjote, 
vsjo vy vrjote, 
`eku ran' vstavati!``

Vstan' ty, duren', 
vstan' ty, baben', 
vorog pod goroju, 
step'ju ryshchet,
brodu ishchet, 
tut ne do spokoju.

,,`Eko delo? 
Ne pospela 
vrazh'ja pereprava:
v rechke omut,
vse potonut;
nashe delo pravo.``

Vstan' ty, duren',
vstan' ty, baben',
vorog uzh pod valom,
prjach'sja, duren',
prygaj, baben',
po svoim podvalam.

,,Rob glubokij,
val vysokij,
tyn po valu strojen.
Tyn-to novyj,
ves' dubovyj:
ja za nim spokojen.``

Vzjali durnja,
vzjali babnja,
sputali arkanom,
sbyli durnja,
sdali babnja
dal'nim basurmanam.

Skachet duren', 
pljashet baben'
pod chuzhuju dudku.
Pesnja nasha,
milost' vasha...
grivna za pogudku.
