Solovej moj, solovej,
Golosistyj solovej!
Ty kuda, kuda letiš',
Gde vsju nočku propoeš'?1
Kto-to bednaja, kak ja,
Noč' proslušaet tebja,
Ne smykajuči očej,
Utopajuči v slezach?1
Ty leti, moj solovej,
Chot' za tridevjat' zemel',
Chot' za sinie morja,
Na čužie berega;
Pobyvaj vo vsech stranach,
V derevnjach i v gorodach:
Ne najti tebe nigde
Goremyšnee menja.1
U menja li u mladoj
Dorog žemčug na grudi,
U menja li u mladoj
Žar-kolečko na ruke,
U menja li u mladoj
V serdce milen'kij družok.
V den' osennij na grudi
Krupnyj žemčug potusknel,
V zimnju nočku na ruke
Raspajalosja kol'co,
A kak nynešnej vesnoj
Razljubil menja miloj.
