by Vasily Petrovich Alferev (1823 - 1854)

Vot v voinstvennom azarte
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vot v voinstvennom azarte,
Voevoda Pal`merston
Porazhaet Rus` na karte
Ukazatel`ny'm perstom.

Vdoxnovlen ego otvagoj,
I franczuz za nim tuda zh,
Mashet dyadyushkinoj shpagoj
I krichit: allons, courage!

Polno, bratcy', na smex svetu
Ne ostan`tes` v durakax!
My' vidali shpagu e`tu
I ne v e`takix rukax.

Esli dyadyushka besslavno
Iz Rusi vernulsya vspyat`,
Tak plemyanniku podavno
I vdali nesdobrovat`.
