by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Pochoronnaja pesnja
Language: Russian (Русский) 
S bogom, v dal'njuju dorogu!
Put' najdëš' ty, slava bogu.
Svetit mesjac; noč' jasna;
čarka vypita do dna.

Pulja legče lichoradki,
volen umer ty, kak žil.
Vrag tvoj mčalsja bez ogljadki,
no tvoj syn ego ubil.

Vspominaj nas za mogiloj,
kol' sojdëtes' kak-nibud';
ot menja otcu, brat milyj,
poklonit'sja ne zabud'!

Ty skaži emu, čto rana
u menja už zažila;
ja zdorov, - i syna Jana
mne choznjajka rodila.

Dedu v čest' on nazvan Janom;
umnyj mal'čik u menja;
už vladeet jataganom
i streljaet iz ruž'ja.

Doč' moja živët v Lizgore,
s mužem ej ne skučno tam.
Tvark ušël davno už v more;
živ il' net, - uznaeš' sam.
