Pesnja Il'jinishny (Kukol'nik, set by M. Glinka) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Khodit veter u vorot,
u vorot krasotku zhdjot.
Ne dozhdjosh'sja, veter moj,
ty krasotka molodoj.
Aj ljudi! Aj ljudi!
Ty krasotka molodoj.
Aj ljudi! Aj ljudi!

S parnem begajet, gorit,
parnju shepchet, govorit:
dogoni menja, druzhok,
narechennyj muzhenjok!
Aj ljudi! Aj ljudi!
Narechennyj muzhenjok!
Aj ljudi! Aj ljudi!

Oj ty, paren' udaloj,
ne gonjajsja za zhenoj,
svistnul veter, zaigral,
bez nevesty paren' stal.
Aj ljudi! Aj ljudi!
Bez nevesty paren' stal.
Aj ljudi! Aj ljudi!

Dunul veter, i Avdej
poljubilsja bol'she jej,
stojit dunut' v tretij raz,
i poljubitsja Taras.
Aj ljudi! Aj ljudi!
I poljubitsja Taras.
Aj ljudi! Aj ljudi!
