Vek junyj, prelestnyj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
   Vek junyj, prelestnyj,
Druz'ja, uletit;
Nam vsjo v podnebesnoj
Izmenoj grozit;
   Letit streloj
   Nash vek mladoj;
   Kak sladkij son,
   Minujet on.
   Lovi, lovi
   Chasy ljubvi,
Poka ljubov' gorit v krovi!

Zatmitsja toskoju
Nash [mladosti]1 pir;
Obmanet mechtoju
Ukrashennyj mir;
   Blednejet svet;
   Chto den', to net
   Mechty zlatoj,
   Mechty zhivoj.
   Lovi, lovi
   Chasy ljubvi,
Poka ljubov' gorit v krovi!

Kak maj aromatnyj -
Vesel'e vesny;
Kak gost' blagodatnyj
S rodnoj storony -
   [Tak junost' dnej,
   Vsja radost' v nej]2;
   Druz'ja, skorej
   [Vsjo v]3 zhertvu jej.
   Lovi, lovi
   Chasy ljubvi,
Poka ljubov' gorit v krovi!
