by Alexei Vasilyevich Timofeyev (1812 - 1883)

Река шумит
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Река шумит,
Река ревет,
Мой челн о брег
Кремнистый бьет;
Сердит и страшен
Говор волн...
Прости, мой друг!
Лети, мой челн!
Прости, мой друг!
Лети, мой челн!

Лети, лети,
Несись, гуляй!
Мой друг, утешься,
Не рыдай,
Не изменю
В стране чужой,
И здесь, и там,
Везде я твой!
И здесь, и там,
Везде я твой!

Река шумит,
Река ревет:
Мой челн о брег
Кремнистый бьет.
Сердит и страшен
Говор волн...
Прости, мой друг!
Лети, мой челн!
Прости, мой друг!
Лети, мой челн!
