Текст песни Лидия Русланова - Вниз по Волге-реке

Down the Volga River,
From the bottom - Novgorod,
Kitted struzhok ,
Like an arrow flies .

As on the on -chip ,
On the curb ,
Delete rowers
Forty-two sit .

As one of them , then ,
Good fellow ,
pondered ,
Become sad .

" Oh, what are you,
Good fellow ,
pondered ,
Become sad ? .. "

" I thought ,
become sad
On the one soul ,
Red maid.

Oh, you , my brothers ,
You comrades
You have rendered me
Faithful service .

Throw - throw me
In the Volga -mother ,
I drown in it
Sadness, melancholy mine.

It would be better to me to be the sea
Utopimomu ,
Than live in the world
Unloved . "
