by Boris Kornilov (1907 - 1938)

V Nizhnem Novgorode
Language: Russian (Русский) 
V Nizhnem Novgorode s otkosa
Chajki padayut na peski.
Vse devchonki gulyayut bez sprosa
I sovsem propadayut s toski.

Paxnet lipoj, siren`yu i myatoj,
Neby'valy'j slepit kolorit.
Parni xodyat, kartuz pomyaty'j,
Papiroska vo rtu gorit.

Vlazhny'm vetrom paxnulo nemnogo,
Lyogkim dy'mom, travoyu sy'roj.
Snova Volga idyot, kak doroga,
Vsya pokachivayas` pod goroj.

Snova, tronuty'j radost`yu dolgoj,
YA poyu, chto spokojstvie - prax,
Chto vy'sokie zvezdy' nad Volgoj
Tozhe gasnut na pervy'x porax.

Chto naprasno zaby'taya rano,
Xorosha, moloda, vesela,
Kak v nesby'tochnoj pesne, Tat`yana
V Nizhnem Novgorode zhila.
