Plovcy
Language: Russian (Русский)
Po reke, vniz po širokoj, Po letjaščej bystrine, Iz otčizny v kraj dalekij, Edet strannik po reke, Iz otčizny v kraj dalekij, Edet strannik po reke. I toskujuščemu mnitsja Milyj bereg, kak mečta, V dal' tumannuju vsë mčitsja I uchodit navsegda. V dal' tumannuju vsë mčitsja I uchodit navsegda. Po reke širokoj žizni, Smertnyj k večnosti plyvet, I slezami ukorizny, Vremja bystroe kljanet, I slezami ukorizny, Vremja bystroe kljanet. Drug, naprasno! Črez kormilo Posmotri na beg reki; Vremja tam že, gde i bylo, A uchodim tol'ko my. Vremja tam že, gde i bylo, A uchodim tol'ko my. Reka šumit, reka revet, Moj čeln o breg kremnistyj b'et, Serdit i strašen govor voln… Prosti, moj drug! Leti, moj čeln! Leti, leti, nesis', guljaj! Moj drug, uteš'sja, ne rydaj; Ne izmenju v strane čužoj, I zdes', i tam, vezde ja tvoj! I zdes', i tam, vezde ja tvoj! I zdes', i tam! Reka šumit, reka revet, Moj čeln o breg kremnistyj b'et, Serdit i strašen govor voln… Prosti, moj drug! Leti, moj čeln!
