Месятс плывёт, и тиh и спокоен, А юноша-воин на битву идёт. Ружё заряжает джигит, А дева ему говорит: ,,Мой милый, смелее вверяйся ты року, Молися востоку, будь верен пророку, Любви будь верней. Лубви изменивший изменой кровавой, Врага не сразивший, погибнет без славы; Дожди его ран не обмоют, Звери костей не зароют!`` Месятс плывет, и тиh и спокоен, А юноша-воин на битву идет. А юноша-воин на битву идет.

La lune flotte, calme et paisible, Un jeune soldat va à la bataille, Le hardi cavalier lève son fusil, Et une jeune fille lui dit : « Mon cher, confie-toi hardiment à ton sort, Prie vers l'orient, sois fidèle au prophète, Sois fidèle à l'amour. Celui qui a trahi l'amour dans le sang, N'a pas vaincu l'ennemi, périra sans gloire ; La pluie ne lavera pas ses blessures, Les bêtes sauvages n'enterreront pas ses os ! » La lune flotte, calme et paisible, Un jeune soldat va à la bataille. Un jeune soldat va à la bataille.
