by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Cherkesskaja pesnja
Language: Russian (Русский)
V reke bezhit gremuchij val; V gorakh bezmolvije nochnoje: Kazak ustalyj zadremal, Sklonjas' na kopije stal'noje. Ne spi, kazak: vo t'me nochnoj, Chechenec khodit za rekoj. Kazak plyvet na chelnoke, Vlacha po dnu rechnomu seti. Kazak, utonesh' ty v reke, Kak tonut malen'kije deti, Kupajas' zharkoju poroj: Chechenec khodit za rekoj. Na beregu zavetnykh vod Cvetut bogatye stanicy; Veselyj pljashet khorovod. Begite russkije pevicy; Speshite, krasnye, domoj: Chechenec khodit za rekoj.
