О Дельвиг, Дельвиг! Что награда И дел высоких и стихов? Таланту что и где отрада Среди злодеев и глупцов? В руке суровой Ювенала Злодеям грозный быч свистит И краску гонит с их ланит. И власть тиранов задрожала. О Дельвиг, Дельвиг, что гоненья? Бессмертие равно удел И смелых вдохновенных дел И сладостного песнопеня! Так не умрёт и наш союз, Свободный, радостный и гордый! И в счастье и в несчастье твёрдый Союз любимцев вечных муз!

Ô Delvig, Delvig ! Qu'y-a-t-il comme récompense Pour les actions sublimes et la poésie ? Quelle place y-a-t-il pour le talent Parmi les vauriens et les fous ? Sous la main dure de Juvénal L'effrayant knout menace les criminels Et enlève la couleur de leurs joues Et le pouvoir des tyrans tremblait. Ô Delvig, Delvig ! Qu'y-a-t-il pour la persécution ? L'immortalité est le lot Pour des actions courageuses et inspirées Et pour des chants délicieux ! Ainsi ne mourra jamais notre union Libre, joyeuse et fière ! Et dans le bonheur et le malheur restera fermement Le lien des amis des muses éternelles.
