U sestry moey kosy svetlye,
kosy tsveta l'na.
U sestry pechal' bezotvetnaya -
vidno, vlyublena.
Kosy svetlye, kosy dlinnye,
lenty-kruzheva -
Slovno peryshki golubinye,
da nenuzhnye.
U sestry moey nozhki belye,
kabluchki ostry.
Vzglyady vol'nye, ruki smelye
u moey sestry.
A dusha ee vsled za muzykoy
tri dorogi shla,
To udacheyu, to obuzoyu
vse brela-tsvela.
Vsled za sokolom, vsled za dudochkoy,
bubentsam vosled
Beloy gorlitsey, sizoy utochkoy -
proch' ot zdeshnikh bed.
Da sluchilas' beda nezvanaya
na ee puti -
Za rekoy vse dorozhki p'yanye,
pravoy ne nayti.
Vsyaku dudochku greet svoy karman,
zelen' glaz chuzhikh - znay odno - obman.
Sokol vvys' letit - ne vorotitsya,
ot lyudey pechal' ne ukroetsya.
Ne khodila b ty za okolitsu,
ne zvala by ty togo molodtsa,
Chto makhnul krylom, bubentsom zvenya,
uletel s soboy, ne pozvav tebya.
