Звонче жаворонка пенье, Ярче вешние цветы, Сердце полно вдохновенья, Небо полно красоты. Разорвав тоски оковы, Цепи пошлые разбив, Набегает жизни новой Торжествующий прилив, И звучит свежо и юно Новых сил могучий строй, Как натянутые струны Между небом и землей.

L'alouette chante plus fort, Les fleurs du printemps sont plus brillantes, Le cœur est plein d'inspiration, Le ciel est plein de beauté. Après avoir brisé les chaînes de l'ennui, Les chaînes insipides, Une nouvelle vie surgit En une marée triomphante. Et des sons frais et jeunes retentissent, De puissants accords de forces nouvelles Comme des cordes tendues Entre le ciel et la terre.
