by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Mogila bojcza
Language: Russian (Русский) 
On spit poslednim snom davno,
      On spit poslednim snom,
Nad nim bugor nasy'pan by'l,
      Zeleny'j dern krugom.

Sedy'e kudri starika
      Smeshalisya s zemlej.
Oni vzvevalis` po plecham
      Za chashej pirovoj.

Oni bely', kak pena voln,
      Biyushhixsya u skal.
Usta, lyubimicy' besed,
      Vpervy'e xlad skoval.

I bledny' shheki mertvecza,
      Kak lik ego vragov
Blednel, kogda yavlyalsya on
      Odin sred` ix ryadov.

Sy'roj zemlej pokry'ta grud`,
      No ej ne tyazhelo,
I cherv`, dvizhen`ya ne boyas`,
      Polzet cherez chelo.

Na to l` on zhil i mech nosil,
      Chtob v chas vechernej mgly'
Sletalis` na kurgan ego
      Pusty'nny'e orly'?

Xotya pevecz zemli rodnoj
      Ne raz uzh pel ob nem,
No pesn` — vsyo pesn`, a zhizn` — vsyo zhizn`!
      On spit poslednim snom.
