Very popular Russian song which you can hear almost at any party, or even in pubs when lots of beer and vodka make everyone happy (or sad - the song will fit any mood). Note that the repeated second half of the song is acapella, and this is what makes Russian folk songs so popular - they can easily be sang acapella, and often even better than with instruments.

The last line is "I'll come back home, embrace my wife and give water to a horse". But drunk Russians always spoil the song by singing "I'll come back home, give water to my wife and embrace my horse". One has to learn to cope with stupidity when travelling to Russia.
