Cherkeshenka
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ya videl vas: xolmy' i nivy',
Raznoobrazny'x gor kusty',
Prirody' dikoj krasoty',
Stepej gluxix narod schastlivy'j
I nravy' tixoj prostoty'!

No tam, gde Terek protekaet,
Cherkeshenku ya uvidal, -
Vzor devy' serdce prikoval;
I my'sl` nevol`no uletaet
Brodit` sred` mily'x, dal`nix skal...

Tak dux raskayaniya, zvuki
Posly'shav rajskie, letit
Uzret` eshhyo nebesny'j vid;
Tak ston lyubvi, strastej i muki
Do groba v pamyati zvuchit.
