Khotja ja sud'boj na zare moikh dnej
Language: Russian (Русский)
Khotja ja sud'boj na zare moikh dnej, O juzhnye gory, ottorgnut ot vas, Chtob vechno ikh pomnit', tam nado byt' raz. Kak sladkuju pesnju otchizny mojej, Ljublju ja Kavkaz. V mladencheskikh letakh ja mat' poterjal. No mnilos', chto v rozovyj vechera chas Ta step' povtorjala mne pamjatnyj glas. Za `eto ljublju ja vershiny tekh skal, Ljublju ja Kavkaz. Ja schastliv byl s vami, ushchelija gor; Pjat' let proneslos': vsjo toskuju po vas. Tam videl ja paru bozhestvennykh glaz; I serdce lepechet, vospomnja tot vzor: Ljublju ja Kavkaz!..
