by Yakov Petrovich Polonsky (1819 - 1898)

Privet Antonu Grigor'eviču Rubinštejnu
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Privet tebe, privet, naš brat,
naš drug, naš svetlyj genij,
ot molodych i starych pokolenij
za mnogo let svjatych i čistych upoenij,
privet tebe, privet, naš brat
i drug, privet tebe, privet!

Pust' Rus' zovët tebja svoim,
no razve mog ty byt' čužim
komu-nibud' v podlunnom mire?
Dlja vsech zvezda gorit v ėfire,
i perelëtnyj solovej,
gde b on ni pel v sadu - ničej, ničej.

Vsem byli dorogi dary tvoej božestvennoj igry,
mir muzyki ne znaet torga,
i, čuždyj večnoj suety,
ty nës narodam grom vostorga,
darja im slëzy i mečty.

Privet tebe, privet, naš brat,
naš drug, naš svetlyj genij,
ot molodych i starych pokolenij
za mnogo let svjatych i čistych upoenij,
privet tebe, privet, naš brat 
i drug, naš svetlyj genij, 
naš brat, naš drug, naš svetlyj genij,
privet tebe, privet tebe, privet tebe!
