I would absolutely love the lyrics to this very common Russian Folk song, but it's very hard to find on the internet (grrrr)

If it's common, we outght to have it. I found an excerpt of a recording here (click) by the Soviet Army Chorus.

But can anybody find lyrics?

Vdol pa pityerskoy

Vdol pa pityerskoy, pa tvyerskoy-yamskoy,
pa tvyerskoy-yamskoy, pa darozhyenke.

Yedet moy miloy, mil na troyechke,
mil na troyechke s kolokolchikom.

Mil na troyechke s kolokolchikom,
s kolokolchikom, so bubyenchikom...

Pishyet moy miloy ka mnye gramotku,
ka mnye gramotku - vyest nyeradastnu.
vyest nyeradastnu nye pyerom pisal,
nye pyerom pisal, nye chyernilami, -

Pishyet mily moy garyuchmi slyozami,
garyuchmi slyozami molodyetzkimi:

"Nye sidi, Dunya, pozna vyecherom,
pozna vyecherom pad akoshkom;

Ty nye zhgi, nye zhgi voskavu svyechu,
voskavu svyechu vosku yarova;

Ty nye zhdi, nye zhdi daroga gostya,
daroga gostya, druzhka milova!..""

Along Piterskaya

Along Piterskaya, along Tverskaya-Yamskaya,
along Tvyerskaya-Yamskaya, along the path.

Goes my sweetheart, my sweetheart on a troika,
my sweetheart on a troika with a little bell.

My sweetheart on a troika with a little bell,
with a little bell, with a little tambourine...

My sweetheart writes a letter to me,
a letter to me - unhappy news.

the unhappy news news he wrote not by quill,
not by quill, not by ink -

My sweetheart wrote with bitter teers
the bitter tears of a fine fellow:

"Don't sit, Dunya, late at night,
late at night by your window;

Do not light, do not light the wax candle,
the wax candle the bright wax candle;

Do not await, do not await your dear guest,
your dear guest, your dear friend!.."
