Delibash
Language: Russian (Русский)
Perestrelka za xolmami; Smotrit lager` ix i nash; Na xolme pred kazakami V`etsya krasny'j delibash. Delibash! ne sujsya k lave, Pozhalej svoyo zhit`e; Vmig amin` lixoj zabave: Popadesh`sya na kop`e. E`j, kazak! ne rvisya k boyu: Delibash na vsem skaku Srezhet sableyu krivoyu S plech udaluyu bashku. Mchatsya, sshiblis` v obshhem krike. Posmotrite! kakovy'?.... Delibash uzhe na pike, A kazak bez golovy'.
