Vojna
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vojna - e`to slezy' nevinny'x stradal`cev;
Vojna - e`to golod, bolezn`, nishheta,
Tolpy' razorenny'x, bezdomny'x skital`cev,
Ryady' bezy'myanny'x mogil bez kresta!

Vojna - e`to grozny'j ogon`-razrushitel`,
Szhigayushhij sela, gubyashhij plody',
Slepoj i besstrastny'j, bezzhalostny'j mstitel`,
Chudovishhe mraka i demon vrazhdy'!

Vojna - e`to krotost` uly'bki serdechnoj
U lozha bol`nogo sklonennoj sestry'
I trepet molitvy' lyubvi beskonechnoj,
Nadezhdy' i very' svyaty'e dary'.

Vojna - to pory'v beskory'stnoj otvagi,
Pobeda nad smert`yu, pobeda nad zlom;
Vojna - e`to gordo shumyashhie flagi
Nad gibnushhim sudnom v ogne boevom!

Grozoj proletaya nad gryaz`yu vsednevnoj,
Kory'sti, zaboty' i poshly'x utex,
Vojna - e`to angel prekrasny'j i gnevny'j,
Sudyashhij nepravdu, karayushhij grex.
