Vek yuny'j, prelestny'j
Language: Russian (Русский) 
   Vek yuny'j, prelestny'j,
Druz`ya, uletit;
Nam vsyo v podnebesnoj
Izmenoj grozit;
   Letit streloj
   Nash vek mladoj;
   Kak sladkij son,
   Minuet on.
   Lovi, lovi
   Chasy' lyubvi,
Poka lyubov` gorit v krovi!

Zatmitsya toskoyu
Nash [mladosti]1 pir;
Obmanet mechtoyu
Ukrashenny'j mir;
   Bledneet svet;
   Chto den`, to net
   Mechty' zlatoj,
   Mechty' zhivoj.
   Lovi, lovi
   Chasy' lyubvi,
Poka lyubov` gorit v krovi!

Kak maj aromatny'j -
Vesel`e vesny';
Kak gost` blagodatny'j
S rodnoj storony' -
   [Tak yunost` dnej,
   Vsya radost` v nej]2;
   Druz`ya, skorej
   [Vsyo v]3 zhertvu ej.
   Lovi, lovi
   Chasy' lyubvi,
Poka lyubov` gorit v krovi!
