Korobushka
        Pedler's Pack

Oi, palna, palna korobushka, yest' i sitits i parcha. / Pazhaley dusha zaznobushka, maladyetskava plyecha. / Vyidu, vyidu v rozh vysokuyu, tam da nochki pasizhu, / Lish uvizhu cherna-okuyu fsye tavarye razlazhu. / Oi palna . . .

Oh full, full is my peddler's pack. I have satins and brocadesl Take pity, my dear one, oh the weight on my aching shoulders! I walk and I walk through the tall rye, there to wait until nightfall. And maybe I will meet a dark-eyed one and spread my wares before her. Oh full . . .
