Ария Василисы Прекрасной [Ariya Vasilisy Prekrasnoy] [Transliteration]

Vanya, pridi ko mne, dostal menya Kashchey,

Ne mogu ya, khot' ubey,

Vanya, ya khochu tebya, mne skuchno bez tebya

Khot' volkom voy.

Vanya, ya bol'she ne mogu,

Ya trakhat'sya khochu, net bol'she mochi,

No s toboy, lish' s toboy,

On u tebya bol'shoy.

Vchera Kashchey prishel, khotela s nim razok,

On dazhe raz kozel ne smog,

Vidat' eta svoloch' berezhet ego,

Naverno v etoy chushke smert' ego.

Vanya, pridi zhe nakonets,

I otrubi emu konets proklyatyy!

(Narrative Part)

Vot dobralsya nakonets nash Vanyusha molodets,

Podoshel k dvortsu Kashcheya, kriknul: "Vykhodi podlets!"

I predstal pred nim Kashchey, govorit Vanyushe:

- Ey, ty narushil, Van', granitsu territorii moey!

Podoshel k nemu Ivan,

vynul mech, obrez, nagan,

I skazal on rech' takuyu,

oprokinuv vodki zhban.
