Privet Antonu Grigor`evichu Rubinshtejnu
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Privet tebe, privet, nash brat,
nash drug, nash svetly'j genij,
ot molody'x i stary'x pokolenij
za mnogo let svyaty'x i chisty'x upoenij,
privet tebe, privet, nash brat
i drug, privet tebe, privet!

Pust` Rus` zovyot tebya svoim,
no razve mog ty' by't` chuzhim
komu-nibud` v podlunnom mire?
Dlya vsex zvezda gorit v e`fire,
i perelyotny'j solovej,
gde b on ni pel v sadu - nichej, nichej.

Vsem by'li dorogi dary' tvoej bozhestvennoj igry',
mir muzy'ki ne znaet torga,
i, chuzhdy'j vechnoj suety',
ty' nyos narodam grom vostorga,
darya im slyozy' i mechty'.

Privet tebe, privet, nash brat,
nash drug, nash svetly'j genij,
ot molody'x i stary'x pokolenij
za mnogo let svyaty'x i chisty'x upoenij,
privet tebe, privet, nash brat 
i drug, nash svetly'j genij, 
nash brat, nash drug, nash svetly'j genij,
privet tebe, privet tebe, privet tebe!
