Текст песни Надежда Плевицкая - Верёвочка

Brave black guy
On Zavalinka sat.
Villa Relief Silent,
Sad song he sang.

Followed, followed, do not dreamed
You, my rope.
What are you useful for?
That fate I do not know.

Maybe you will come in handy
In late autumn burlacs.
Or early spring
The guy will contact hands.

Be softer, like Silkov's Sleep,
You, my rope.
Tomorrow early in the bazaar
I will sell you a merchant.

And for this rope
I'm sculpting the hotels,
And for these for the hotels
Rather at the porch.

Not sent to the boy
That ropes to sell
Not allowed and girl
In the ala sponge kiss.

With an old man went, poor thing,
That girl under the crown.
And on this on the rope
Life committed a great life.

(recorded in 1908)
