by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Jest' rechi — znachen'e
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Jest' rechi — znachen'e
Temno il' nichtozhno,
No im bez volnen'ja
Vnimat' nevozmozhno.

Kak polny ikh zvuki
Bezumstvom zhelan'ja!
V nikh slezy razluki,
V nikh trepet svidan'ja.

Ne vstretit otveta
Sred' shuma mirskogo
Iz plamja i sveta
Rozhdennoje slovo;

No v khrame, sred' boja
I gde ja ni budu,
Uslyshav, jego ja
Uznaju povsjudu.

Ne konchiv molitvy,
Na zvuk tot otvechu,
I broshus' iz bitvy
Jemu ja navstrechu.
