Mne li, molodcu
Language: Russian (Русский)
Mne li, molodcu razudalomu, Zimu - zimskuju žit' za pečkoju? Mne l' polja pachat'? Mne l' travu kosit'? Zatopljat' ovin? Molotit' oves? Mne li, molodcu? Esli b molodcu noč' da dobryj kon', Da bulatnyj nož, da temny, temny lesa! Snarjažu konja, natoču bulat, Zatjanu čekmen', poleču v lesa; Stanu v tech lesach vol'noj volej žit', Udaloj baškoj v okolotke slyt'.
