Бродяга is also interpreted by the Moscow Male Choir Voice(directed by A.Gridenko)in its CD "Song of Old Russia" under the title "On the wild steppes beyond the Baikal". The lyrics below is a version by John Sidgwick as appears in the CD booklet. Here we can listen to this moving traditional Russian song and be delighted with Zhanna Bichevskaya´s voice.

Бродяга
"On the wild steppes beyond the Baikal,
where people search for gold,
A poor man bearing a bag on his back
waders, bemoaning his fate.
For telling the truth, he found himself in prison.
One dark night he escaped.
He has not enough strength to go any further.
In front of him there lies the Lake Baikal.
He comes up to it
and climbs on to a fisherman´s boat.
There he sings a song,
a sad song about his own country.
He crosses the lake,
his mother comes to meet him.
'O my dear mother let me embrace you,
are my father and my brother well?'
'Your father has been dead for a long time;
he is at rest in the damp earth.
And your brother is serving his prison sentence,
wearing chains, somewhere in Siberia.'
