Language: Russian (Русский)
Po reke, vniz po shirokoj, Po letjashchej bystrine, Iz otchizny v kraj dalekij, Jedet strannik po reke, Iz otchizny v kraj dalekij, Jedet strannik po reke. I toskujushchemu mnitsja Milyj bereg, kak mechta, V dal' tumannuju vsjo mchitsja I ukhodit navsegda. V dal' tumannuju vsjo mchitsja I ukhodit navsegda. Po reke shirokoj zhizni, Smertnyj k vechnosti plyvet, I slezami ukorizny, Vremja bystroje kljanet, I slezami ukorizny, Vremja bystroje kljanet. Drug, naprasno! Chrez kormilo Posmotri na beg reki; Vremja tam zhe, gde i bylo, A ukhodim tol'ko my. Vremja tam zhe, gde i bylo, A ukhodim tol'ko my. Reka shumit, reka revet, Moj cheln o breg kremnistyj b'et, Serdit i strashen govor voln… Prosti, moj drug! Leti, moj cheln! Leti, leti, nesis', guljaj! Moj drug, utesh'sja, ne rydaj; Ne izmenju v strane chuzhoj, I zdes', i tam, vezde ja tvoj! I zdes', i tam, vezde ja tvoj! I zdes', i tam! Reka shumit, reka revet, Moj cheln o breg kremnistyj b'et, Serdit i strashen govor voln… Prosti, moj drug! Leti, moj cheln!
