Bože, kak že mne byt'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Bože! kak že mne byt', druga serdca zabyt';
Ne mogu istrebit' plamen' strastnyj.
Ach! Kogda b ja mogla, ja by žizn' otdala,
Žizn' teper' nemila dlja nesčastnoj.
Vozvrati mne duševnyj pokoj,
Otronisja moeju toskoj.

Bože, kak že mne byt', druga serdca zabyt';
Ne mogu istrebit' plamen' strastnyj.
Ach! Kogda b ja mogla, ja by žizn' otdala,
Žizn' teper' nemila dlja nesčastnoj,
Prizri menja, vidiš' kak ja
Protiv voli dušoju stradaju;
Sžal'sja nad mnoj, grešnoj raboj,
JA minuty svobodnoj ne znaju.

Bože! kak že mne byt', druga serdca zabyt';
Ne mogu istrebit' plamen' strastnyj.
Ach! Kogda b ja mogla, ja by žizn' otdala,
Žizn' teper' nemila dlja nesčastnoj.
Sžal'sja, sžal'sja nado mnoj,
Vozvrati moj pokoj!
