Kak za rečen'koj sloboduška stoit
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kak za rečen'koj sloboduška stoit,
Po slobodke toj dorožen'ka bežit,
Put'-dorožka široka, da ne dlinna,
Razbegaëtsja v dve storony ona:
Kak nalevo — na kladbišče k mertvecam,
A napravo — k zakavkazskim molodcam,
Grustno bylo provožat' mne, molodoj,
Dvuch rodimych i po toj, i po drugoj:
Obručal'nika po levoj provodja,
S plačem mater'ju-zemlej pokryla ja;
A naletnyj drug uechal po drugoj,
Na proščan'e mne kivnuvši golovoj.
