by Jelizaveta Kuzmina-Karavayeva (1891 - 1945)

Aria
 (Sung text for setting by G. Grigorjeva)
 Matches base text
Language: Russian (Русский) 
И я вместила много, – трижды мать.
Рождала в жизнь и дважды в смерть рождала,
А хоронить, – как умирать.
Копала землю и стихи писала.

С моим народом вместе шла на бунт,
С восстанием всеобщим восставала.
В моей душе неукротимый гунн
Не знал ни заповеди, ни запрета.
И дни мои – коней степных табун
Невзнузданных носились в краю света.
На запад солнца принесли меня,
И было имя мне – Елизавета
