Mesjats plyvjot, i tih i spokojen, A junosha-voin na bitvu idjot. Ruzhjo zarjazhajet dzhigit, A deva jemu govorit: ,,Moj milyj, smeleje vverjajsja ty roku, Molisja vostoku, bud' veren proroku, Ljubvi bud' vernej. Lubvi izmenivshij izmenoj krovavoj, Vraga ne srazivshij, pogibnet bez slavy; Dozhdi jego ran ne obmojut, Zveri kostej ne zarojut!`` Mesjats plyvet, i tih i spokojen, A junosha-voin na bitvu idet. A junosha-voin na bitvu idet.
