by Aleksey Vasil'yevich Kol'tsov (1808 - 1842)

Mnogo jest' u menja
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  FRE
Mnogo jest' u menja
Teremov i sadov,
I razdol'nykh polej,
I dremuchikh lesov.

Mnogo jest' u menja
Dereven' i ljudej,
I znakomykh bojar,
I nadjozhnykh druzej.

Mnogo jest' u menja
Zhemchugov i mekhov,
[Dragocennykh odezhd,
Raznocvetnykh kovrov]1.

Mnogo jest' u menja
Dlja pirov — serebra,
Dlja besed — krasnykh slov,
Dlja vesel'ja — vina!

No ja znaju, na chto
Trav volshebnykh ishchu;
No ja znaju, o chjom
Sam s soboju grushchu…
