by Nikolai Porfiryevich Grekov (1810 - 1866)

V tu noch`, kogda proshhalis` my'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
V tu noch`, kogda proshhalis` my',
Kipelo i stonalo more,
Ves` mir by'l polon groznoj t`my',
I s strashno by'lo nashe gore.

I ni edinaya zvezda
Iz burny'x tuch nam ne svetila,
Kogda ona, prizhav usta
K moim, mne govorila:

«Pust` e`tix zhguchix slez ruch`i
Tebe sbegayut na lanity',
Pust` zharkie usta moi
S tvoimi dolgo budut slity'!

Puskaj, xotya v poslednij raz,
My' tol`ko zrimy'e prirodoj,
Vdali ot zorkix vrazh`ix glaz
Up`emsya schast`em i svobodoj.»

I dolgo slez ruch`i tekli
I zhgli s lobzan`yami, kak plamen`,
Vsyu dushu mne oni sozhgli
I obratili serdce v kamen`.

S tex por ya zhizn` ne beregu,
Pred grozny'm rokom ne robeyu.
S tex por ya plakat` ne mogu
I uly'bat`sya ne umeyu.
