Ballada o korole
Language: Russian (Русский)
Zatjanut šelkom tronnyj zal! Na vsju stranu segodnja Korol' daët bessčetnyj bal Po milosti Gospodnej. Kak i vsegda, korol' tam byl Galanten neizmenno, I pered damoj preklonil Vysokoe koleno. Staryj šut, pokosivšis' na zal, Podnjal tonkuju brov' i skazal: «On vsegda posle bala veselogo Vozvraščaetsja bez golovy. Kak legko Vy terjaete golovu! Ach! Korol', kak rassejany Vy». Zatjanut krasnym tronnyj zal! Na vsju stranu segodnja Narod daët svoj pervyj bal Bez milosti Gospodnej. Kak i vsegda, korol' tam byl Galanten neizmenno, I pod nožom on preklonil Vysokoe koleno. Staryj šut, pokosivšis' na zal, Podnjal tonkuju brov' i skazal: «On vsegda posle bala veselogo Vozvraščaetsja bez golovy. Kak legko Vy terjaete golovu, Moj Korol', kak rassejany Vy!»
