Kapitan Gastello
Language: Russian (Русский) 
On by'l kapitanom, on vel samolyot
Navstrechu mashinam vrazh`im.
O nyom rodnoj ne zabudet narod:
My' v pesne o nyom rasskazhem.

  Nad nashej zemlej on otvazhno paril,
  Vy'slezhival vrazh`i stai,
  Ni sil, ni zhizni v boyu ne shhadil,
  Fashistov unichtozhaya.

Podbit, izuvechen, v korone ognya
On mchitsya k giveli vernoj.
No my'sl` py'laet v mozgu lish` odna:
Polny' benzina cisterny'.

  Ni kapli goryuchego vrag ne voz`myot,
  I vot, prorezaya tuchi,
  Geroj py'layushhij grob svoj vedyot
  Vzorvat` cisterny' s goryuchim.

Dony'ne ne vidanny'j podvig svershyon -
Voecz za pravoe delo,
Sredi geroev proslavitsya on,
Sovetskij letchik Gastello.
