Bezumnaja
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Menja žestokie branjat,
Menja bezumnoj nazyvajut,
Spokojnoj, smirnoj byt' veljat,
Molit'sja bogu zastavljajut.
O, zdes', daleko ot svoich…
Pokoj bežit očej moich;
V čužoj, ugrjumoj storone
Net sil molit'sja bogu mne! 

No bud' ja tam, gde Don rodnoj
Šumit znakomymi volnami,
Gde terem otčeskij, prostoj
V teni taitsja pod dubami,
Tam stanu ja pokoja ždat',
Tam stanu boga umoljat',
Čtob, sžaljas' nad toskoj moej,
On mne konec poslal skorej.

O, kak mne, bednoj, ne tužit'!
Ty, radost', i menja manila;
I ja sbiralas' v svete žit',
Byla mila emu, ljubila,
I v cerkov' bož'ju vsja v cvetach
Pošla s rumjancem na ščekach;
I pomnju to, čto s ženichom
I ja stojala pod vencom.

No gibnet radost' navsegda;
K bede, k slezam ja probudilas', —
I jasnaja ljubvi zvezda
V krovavom oblake zatmilas'!
Sokrylsja moj privetnyj svet,
Ego išču — ego už net!
Ach, uletaja, angel moj,
Čto ne vzjal ty menja s soboj!
