by Sergei Mitrofanovich Gorodetsky (1884 - 1967)

Rosjanka
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Zemlica jarovaja,
Smuglica mat' syraja!
Ni zgi v izbënke seroj.
Idi, idi, poilec,
Trjachni vodicu s krylec;
Sberëm vodicu s veroj.
My zašdalis', 
Stoskovalis', 
Zapletaja kosy;
Pritomilis',
Umorilis',
Sobiraja rosy.

I nad každoju rosinkoj,
Prigovarivaja,
Družku tonkoj chvorostinkoj,
Priudarivaja:
Zasidelis'
v devkach devki,
Zanevestilis'.
Ach vy, devki odnodnevki,
Čem nevestilis'?

Tem li pjatnyškom rodimym
čto na spinuške,
Tem li krestikom ljubimym 
iz osinuški?
V ogorožennom dvoru,
Na osinovom kolu
Zapevaet petušok.

Edut, edut po selu:
Budet, budet vvečeru
Bsjakoj devke ženišok.
Siden'e zemljanoe,
Okoško sljudjanoe,
Ni zgi v izbenke seroj.
Prišël, prišël poilec,
Temno ot sizych krylec.
Oj, družki
V boga veruj!
