`El'zasskaja Ballada

Language: Russian

 Zhil v strane korol'. On star i beden byl.
 Iz vsekh sokrovishch sokhranil lish' doch' svoju Gertrudu.
 Zhil s nim rycar' znatnyj, jego Garol'dom zvali.
 Iz vsekh krasavic on ljubil lish' junuju Gertrudu. 
 No zloj rok sulil jikh ljubvi konec inoj.
 Saracin ubil jego v boju za krest svjatoj...
 I s toj pory ona vsjo zhdet, chto on pridet k Gertrude...
 Dnjom il' noch'ju temnoju ona vsjo podzhidala...
 I v stradan'jakh bednaja rassudok poterjala...
 I s toj pory ona vsjo zhdet, chto on pridet k Gertrude...
 Zhil v strane korol'. On star i beden byl.
 Iz vsekh sokrovishch sokhranil lish' doch' svoju Gertrudu.
 Tak pelas' pesn' v mojej strane...
