by Sergei Aleksandrovich Esenin (1895 - 1925)

Zaigraj, sygraj, tal'janochka, malinovy...
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Zaigraj, sygraj, tal'janochka, malinovy mekha. 
Vykhodi vstrechat' k okolice, krasotka, zhenikha. 

Vasil'kami serdce svetitsja, gorit v nem birjuza. 
Ja igraju na tal'janochke pro sinije glaza. 

To ne zori v strujakh ozera svoj vytkali uzor,
Tvoj platok, shit'em ukrashennyj, mel'knul za kosogor. 

Zaigraj, sygraj, tal'janochka, malinovy mekha. 
Pust' poslushajet krasavica pribaski zhenikha.
