Language: Russian (Русский)
Lyudi dobry'e, skazhite, Lyudi dobry'e, ne skrojte: Gde moj mily'j? Vy' molchite! Zluyu l` tajnu vy' xranite? Za dalyokimi l` gorami On zhivyot odin, toskuya? Za stepyami l`, za moryami Schastliv s novy'mi druz`yami? Vspominaet li poroyu, Ch`ya lyubov` k nemu do groba? Il`, zaby'v menya, s drugoyu Svyazan klyatvoj vekovoyu? Il` uzh rannyaya mogila Prinyala ego v ob``yat`ya? Ch`ya zh sleza eyo kropila? Ch`ya dusha o nyom grustila? Lyudi dobry'e, skazhite, Lyudi dobry'e, ne skrojte: Gde moj mily'j? Vy' molchite! Zluyu tajnu vy' xranite!
