by Maria Konopnicka (1842 - 1910)
Translation by V. G. Tan

Oj, poshla b ja zhit' na vole
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the Polish (Polski) 
Oj, poshla b ja zhit' na vole,
Slovno vikhr', chto svishchet v pole,
Svishchet v pole, v'jotsja pticej,
Gonit tuchi verenicej
V rokovuju dal': -
Tol'ko serdcu zhal'
                   Toj nivy,
Gde nad rechkoj plachut ivy,
Gde rodnye kosti tlejut
I kolos'ja mirno zrejut,
              Tol'ko serdcu zhal'.

Oj, poshla b ja v put' daljokij,
Kak idut vesnoj potoki,
Kak plyvut rechnye vody -
I spletajut khorovody
I blestjat, kak stal'.
Tol'ko serdcu zhal'
                   Toj khaty,
Gde razrossja dub kosmatyj,
Gde sverkajet sad rosoju,
Gde luga zvenjat kosoju,
             Tol'ko serdcu zhal'!

Oj, poshla b ja khot' za more
Razognat' nemoje gore,
V sumrak nochi besprosvetnoj
Ponesla by klad zavetnyj,
Ponesla pechal'.
Tol'ko serdcu zhal'
                     Orljonka,
Chto v stepi klokochet zvonko,
Chto nad lesom pticu gonit,
Molodye per'ja ronit, -
             Tol'ko serdcu zhal'...
