Pesnja razbojnika (Kol'tsov, set by M. Balakirev) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Ne strashna mne, dobru molodcu,
Volga-matushka shirokaja,
Lesa temnyje, dremuchije,
V'jugi zimnije kreshchenskije.

Uzh kak bylo po temnym lesam
Piroval ja zimy kruglyje;
Po chuzhim krajam na svoj talan
Poguljal ja, pookhotilsja.

A po Volge, mojej matushke, 
Po rodimoj po kormilice,
Vmeste s brat'jami za dobych'ju
Na kraj sveta letal sokolom.
