Starye gody, sčastlivye dni
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Starye gody, sčastlivye dni!
Kak vešnie vody, promčalis' oni;
Ne mnogo ich bylo v udel mne dano;
Čto serdce ljubilo, vse skrylos' davno!
Ne mnogo ich bylo v udel mne dano;
Čto serdce ljubilo, vse skrylos' davno!

Vy radost' umčali, i žrebij unyl!
Godami pečali za mig zaplatil;
Vostorgi živye na gore smenil;
Mečty zolotye navek pogubil!
Vostorgi živye na gore smenil;
Mečty zolotye navek pogubil!

I žiznennyj pir dlja menja otošel.
Mne čužoj ėtot mir; ja kak strannik, prošel
Bez priveta v puti, i už svetlomu dnju
Dlja menja ne vzojti! Mne nedolgo idti
Bez priveta v puti, i už svetlomu dnju
Dlja menja ne vzojti! Mne nedolgo idti!

I moj put' odinok, kak v pustyne!
I prijut nedalek – on v pučine.
No byloe zabyt' serdcu trudno!
Čego ž net, to ljubit' bezrassudno!
