Our translations: FRE

Osjol uvidel Solov'ja
I govorit jemu: - Poslushaj-ka, druzhishche!
Ty, skazyvajut, pet' velikij masterishche:
Khotel by ochen' ja
Sam posudit', tvojo uslyshav pen'e,
Veliko l' podlinno tvojo umen'e? -
Tut Solovej javljat' iskusstvo stal:
Na tysjachu ladov tjanul, perelivalsja;
To nezhno on oslabeval
I tomnoj vdaleke svirel'ju otdavalsja,
To melkoj drob'ju v drug po roshche rassypalsja.

Vnimalo vsjo togda
Ljubimcu i pevcu Avrory;
Zatikhli veterki, zamolkli ptichek khory,
I prilegli stada.
Chut'-chut' dysha, pastukh im ljubovalsja
I tol'ko inogda, 
Vnimaja Solov'ju, pastushke ulybalsja.
Skonchal pevec. Osjol, ustavjas' v zemlju lbom.
- Izrjadno, - govorit, - skazat' nelozhno,
Tebja bez skuki slushat' mozhno;
A zhal', chto neznakom 
Ty s nashim petukhom;
Jeshchjo b ty bole navostrilsja,
Kogda by u nego nemnozhko pouchilsja. -

Uslysha sud takoj, moj bednyj Solovej
Vsporkhnul i - poletel za tridevjat' polej.

Izbavi bog i nas ot `etakikh sudej.
