Golova l` moya, golovushka
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Golova l` moya, golovushka,
Golova li molodeczkaya,
Chto bolish` ty', chto ty' klonish`sya
Ko grudi, k plechu moguchemu?
Ty' ne tol` by'la, udalaya,
V prezhni gody', v dni razgul`ny'e,
V rusy'x kudryax, v krasote tvoej,
V toj li shapke, shapke barxatnoj,
Sobolyami otorochennoj.
Dnem li v te pory' ya vy'edu,
V ochi solnce — ty' ne xmurish`sya;
V temnom lese v noch` nenastnuyu
Ty' najdesh` tropu zagloxshuyu;
Krasna  devicza priglyanetsya -
I bez slov ej vse povy'skazhesh`;
Povstrechayutsya  nedobry'e,
Tol`ko vzglyanut i poklonyatsya.
Chto zh teper` ty' dumu dumaesh`,
Dumu krepkuyu?
Il` ty' s serdcem peremolvilas`,
Il` odno vy' s nim zadumali?
Il` priluka molodeczkaya
Ni iz serdcza, ni s uma nejdet?
Uzh ne vy'rvat`sya iz kletochki
Pevchej ptichke konoplyanochke,
Pevchej ptichke konoplyanochke
Znat`, i vam ne videt` bolee
Prezhnej voli s prezhnej radost`yu.
