"In War and Peace there's a famous and rather lovely scene where Natasha Rostov and her brother Nikolai are invited by their 'Uncle' (as Natasha calls him) to his simple wooden cabin at the end of a day's hunting in the woods. There the noble-hearted and eccentric 'Uncle' lives, a retired army officer, with his housekeeper Anisya, a stout and handsome serf from his estate, who, as it becomes clear from the old man's tender glances, is his unofficial 'wife'. Anisya brings in a tray loaded with homemade Russian specialities: pickled mushrooms, rye-cakes made with buttermilk, preserves with honey, sparkling mead, herb-brandy and different kinds of vodka. After they have eaten, the strains of a balalaika become audible from the hunting servants' room. It is not the sort of music that a countess should have liked, a simple country ballad, but seeing how his niece is moved by it, 'Uncle' calls for his guitar, blows the dust off it, and with a wink at Anisya, he begins to play, with the precise and accelerating rhythm of a Russian dance, the well-known love song, 'Came a maiden down the street'. Though Natasha has never before heard the folk song, it stirs some unknown feeling in her heart." (quote from "Natasha's Dance - A Cultural History of Russia" by Orlando Figes)

Still haven’t found the name. Was it made up for the film? Cannot find anything named “we gypsies are poor people” or “there came a maiden down the street” they don’t seem to exist

No, Мы цыгане, люди бедны is not its name.
Russian folk song from Belgorod region. “Мы цыгане,
люди бедны... / My tsigane ljudi bedny”. In English “We gypsies are poor people...”
Still no name. Was it made up for the movie? None of the names given in comments exist apparently

@@yuricherniakov3129 They sing in Russian, so the video doesn't help to understand the name of the song.
@@yuricherniakov3129 "There Came A Maiden Down The Street" seems to be the English translation.
