Russian songs

Эх, вдоль по Питерской,
По Тверской-Ямской,
Да, ох, ой, по Тверской-Ямской
Да с колокольчиком
Эх, едет миленькой
Сам на троечке.
Ох, едет лапушка
По просёлочкам.

Эх, во пирушке была,
Во беседушке.
Ох, я не мёд пила,
Сладку водочку.
Эх, сладку водочку
Да с наливочкой.
Эх, я пила, молода,
Из полуведра.

Народ! Где? Что?
Не лёд трещит,
Да не комар пищит,
Да это кум до кумы
Да судака тащит.
"Эх, эх, эх, эх!
Эй, кумушка, да ты, голубушка,
Свари куму судака,
Да чтобы юшка была.
Эх, эх, эх, эх!
Эй, юшечка, да ты с петрушечкой!
Ну, поцелуй ты меня, кума-душечка!

Ох, ох, ох, ох!
Ну, поцелуй!
Ну, поцелуй меня, кума-душечка!"

Eh, along Piterskaya street,
Along Tverskaya-Yamskaya street,
Oh, eh, along Tverskaya-Yamskaya street
With a bell,
Eh, my pretty goes,
He goes alone in a troika*.
Oh, my dear goes
On a dirt road.

Eh, I was at a revelry,
At a merrymaking.
Oh, I was drinking not mead,
But a sweet vodka.
Eh, I was drinking a sweet vodka
With a liqueur.
Eh, I was drinking out, young woman,
Of a bucket.

People! Where? What is it?
It's not an ice that cracks,
It's not a mosquito that buzzes,
It's a godfather that brings a pike perch
To the mother of his godchild.
"Eh, eh, eh, eh!
Eh, mother of my godchild, my dear,
Cook this pike perch for the godfather of your child,
Cook it with a broth.
Eh, eh, eh, eh!
Eh, broth with parsley!
Well, kiss me, my dear!

Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Well, kiss me!
Well, kiss me, my dear!"
