So ruhig geh' ich meinen Pfad
Language: German (Deutsch)
So ruhig geh' ich meinen Pfad, So still ist mir zu Mut; Es dünkt mir jeder Weg gerad' Und jedes Wetter gut. Wohin mein Weg mich führen mag, Der Himmel ist mein Dach, Die Sonne kommt mit jedem Tag, Die Sterne halten Wach'. Und komm' ich spät und komm' ich früh Ans Ziel, das mir gestellt: Verlieren kann ich mich doch nie, O Gott, aus Deiner Welt!

Pesn' strannika
Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)
Idu izvilistoj tropoj, spokojno dyšit grud'. Pogode radujas' ljuboj, dojdu ja kak-nibud'. Ne zablužus' ja nikogda, vverchu nebesnyj krov, a v nëm to solnce, to zvezda gljadit iz oblakov. Idu s utra i do temna, sred' gor, sredi ravnin. Vperëd vsegda, i cel' odna, i mir vsegda odin.
