Pesnja tjomnogo lesa (Volkslieder (Folksongs), set by A. Borodin) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


 Tjomnyj les shumel, 
 tjomnyj les gudel,
 pesnju pel,
 pesnju staruju,
 byl' byvaluju,
 skazyval:
 kak zhivala tam
 volja-voljushka, vol'naja;
 kak sbiralas' tam
 sila-silushka, sil'naja.

 Kak ta voljushka razguljalasja,
 kak ta silushka raskhodilasja,
 na raspravu shla voljushka,
 goroda brala silushka
 i nad nedrugom poteshalasja,
 krov'ju nedruga upivalasja dosyta.

 Volja vol'naja, 
 sila sil'naja.
