Smert' voina
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Armenian (հայերեն)
Ja gibnu za tebja, otčizna dorogaja, I l'ëtsja krov' moja gorjačeju struëj, Svjatoj tvoej zemli dolinu orošaja… No pust' tvoi syny ne plačut nado mnoj! Na moj cholodnyj prach da ne prol'jutsja slëzy! Ne sornaja trava pokroet krov' moju, A rozy vyrastut… ukrasjat ėti rozy Čelo tvoich synov, proslavlennych v boju! O, daj obnjat' tebja, otčizna dorogaja! Pozvol' obnjat' tvoju stradal'českuju grud' I, vesti radostnoj vsem serdcem ožidaja, V tvoich ob"jatijach zabyt'sja i zasnut'… I pust' vosstanu ja, sud'bu blagoslovljaja, Uzrev svobody luč, soznaju vsej dušoj, Čto dlja tebja odnoj, strana moja rodnaja, I žil ja, i stradal, i žertvoval soboj!..
Confirmed with Армянская муза, М: Типо-литогр. Т-ва И. Н. Кушнерев и Ко, 1907.
