Varjag
Language: Russian (Русский) 
"Varjag" idjot svershat' svoj podvig slavnyj,
Prinjat' udar, napravlennyj sud'boj.
"Varjag" idet v krovavyj, groznyj boj,
V predsmertnyj boj, zhestokij i neravnyj.

Za nim gremit privet rodnoj strany,
Pobednyj zvuk torzhestvennoj molitvy.
Molis', moj kraj! Vzgljani, tvoi syny
Sumejut smert' prinjat' v razgare bitvy.

Sumejut vypit' chashu gor'kikh muk
I, vstretiv grud'ju vrazh'i ispoliny,
V poslednij chas, na dne morskoj puchiny
Sokryt' tvoj klad ot svjatotatnykh ruk!
