Oh wert thou in the cauld blast
Language:
English
O wert thou in the cauld blast
On yonder lea,
My plaidie to the angry airt,
I'd shelter thee:
Or did misfortune's bitter storms
Around thee blaw,
Thy shield should be my bosom
To share it a'; to share it a'.
Or were I in the wildest waste,
Sae black and bare,
The desert were a paradise
If thou wert there.
Or were I monarch of the globe,
Wi' thee to reign,
The brightest jewel in my crown
Wad be my Queen, wad be my Queen.

V poljakh pod snegom i dozhdjom
Language:
Russian
V poljakh pod snegom i dozhdjom,
[Moj milyj drug, moj bednyj drug,]1
Tebja ukryl by ja plashchom
Ot zimnikh v'jug, ot zimnikh v'jug.
A jesli muka suzhdena
Tebe sud'boj, tebe sud'boj,
Gotov ja skorb' tvoju do dna
Delit' s toboj, delit' s toboj.
Puskaj sojdu [vo]2 mrachnyj dol,
Gde noch' krugom, gde t'ma krugom,
Vo t'me ja solnce by nashjol
S toboj vdvojom, s toboj vdvojom.
I jesli b dali mne v udel
Ves' shar zemnoj, ves' shar zemnoj,
S kakim by schast'jem ja vladel
Toboj odnoj, toboj odnoj!
