Time, sometimes the midnight,
Through the mist and darkness,
I went quietly over the river
dashing Cossack.
Black hat bekrene,
All Zupan in the dust.
Pistols at knee,
Sword to the ground.
trusty steed, uzdы not hear,
step performed;
Mane long fermenting,
I delved into the distance.
Here before him two, three huts, —
Break off the fence;
Here - the road to the village,
There - in the dense forest.
“I can not find the girls in the forest, —
The word grip Dennis: —
Much beauty in Svetlitsa
On the night cleared”.
He moved his Donets uzdoyu,
spur prikolnulsya,
And I raced a horse with arrows,
By the huts wrapped.
In clouds moon Srebreno
Far heaven;
Under the window dull sitting
The maiden-beauty.
Brave sees Red Maid;
The heart beats in it,
The horse quietly in Levu, to the left -
That's really under the window.
“The night gets darker,
hid the moon.
Go out, kohanochka, quicker,
watered horse”.
“Not! the man young
scared to go,
Vydti scared me out of the house,
Horse to water”.
“Ax! I suppose, virgin Krasna,
With a sweet make friends!”
"Night beauties dangerous".
“Joy! be not dismayed!
trust, kohanochka, null;
False fear otbros!
Spending time gold;
Pretty, I suppose!
Sit on Greyhounds, with you
At the far edge of the food;
Will be happy with me:
On the other everywhere paradise”.
What girl? persuade,
overcome fear,
Timidly agreed to go.
Happy became a Cossack.

I loved each other out;
I was faithful to her two weeks,
The third change.
