Ftjomnomlese

Non-PRO Russian Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Hello everyone

Apparently, the following is a Russian folk song:

Ftjomnomlese, za lesiu.
Raspasiulia, pasenku.
Ja paseiu, ljonkanapel.
Uro diitsia, ljonkanapel.
Tonok dolok, belwalaknjist.
Kak pawadisia, worwarabjej.
Ftjomnomlese, za lesiu.

1. Is this a Russian folk song?
2. What is the correct spelling of the words (Latin or Cyrillic)?
3. What does it mean (more or less)?
4. How would one pronounce it?

The tune of the song is here:

Thanks!
