Песня Селима

Месятс плывёт, и тиh и спокоен,
А юноша-воин на битву идёт.
Ружё заряжает джигит,
А дева ему говорит:
,,Мой милый, смелее вверяйся ты року,
Молися востоку, будь верен пророку,
Любви будь верней.
Лубви изменивший изменой кровавой,
Врага не сразивший, погибнет без славы;
Дожди его ран не обмоют,
Звери костей не зароют!``
Месятс плывет, и тиh и спокоен,
А юноша-воин на битву идет.
А юноша-воин на битву идет.

Chant de Sélima

La lune flotte, calme et paisible,
Un jeune soldat va à la bataille,
Le hardi cavalier lève son fusil,
Et une jeune fille lui dit :
« Mon cher, confie-toi hardiment à ton sort,
Prie vers l'orient, sois fidèle au prophète,
Sois fidèle à l'amour.
Celui qui a trahi l'amour dans le sang,
N'a pas vaincu l'ennemi, périra sans gloire ;
La pluie ne lavera pas ses blessures,
Les bêtes sauvages n'enterreront pas ses os ! »
La lune flotte, calme et paisible,
Un jeune soldat va à la bataille.
Un jeune soldat va à la bataille.
