by Vasily Petrovich Alferev (1823 - 1854)

Vot v voinstvennom azarte
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vot v voinstvennom azarte,
Vojevoda Pal'merston
Porazhajet Rus' na karte
Ukazatel'nym perstom.

Vdokhnovlen jego otvagoj,
I francuz za nim tuda zh,
Mashet djadjushkinoj shpagoj
I krichit: allons, courage!

Polno, bratcy, na smekh svetu
Ne ostan'tes' v durakakh!
My vidali shpagu `etu
I ne v `etakikh rukakh.

Jesli djadjushka besslavno
Iz Rusi vernulsja vspjat',
Tak plemjanniku podavno
I vdali nesdobrovat'.
