by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Песня Селима
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  FRE
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.
