Kolokol stonet
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kolokol stonet,
Devushka plachet,
I slyozy' po chyotkam begut.
Nasil`no,
Nasil`no
Ot mira v obiteli skry'ta ona,
Gde zhizn` bez nadezhdy' i nochi bez sna.
Tak moyo serdce
Grud` bespokoit
I b`yotsya, b`yotsya, b`yotsya.
Velela,
Velela
Sud`ba mne lyubov` ot nego otorvat`
I devu zaby't`, xot` tomu ne by'vat`.
Smert` i bessmert`e,
Zhizn` i pogibel`
I deve i serdczu nichto;
U serdcza
I devy'
Odno lish` stradan`e, odin lish` predmet:
Emu schast`ya nado, ej nadoben svet.
