by Hovhannes Hovhannisyan (1864 - 1929)
Translation by Lev Ignatevich Umanets (c1858 - c1912)

Smert` voina
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the Armenian (հայերեն) 
Ya gibnu za tebya, otchizna dorogaya,
I l`yotsya krov` moya goryacheyu struyoj,
Svyatoj tvoej zemli dolinu oroshaya…
No pust` tvoi sy'ny' ne plachut nado mnoj!
Na moj xolodny'j prax da ne prol`yutsya slyozy'!
Ne sornaya trava pokroet krov` moyu,
A rozy' vy'rastut… ukrasyat e`ti rozy'
Chelo tvoix sy'nov, proslavlenny'x v boyu!

O, daj obnyat` tebya, otchizna dorogaya!
Pozvol` obnyat` tvoyu stradal`cheskuyu grud`
I, vesti radostnoj vsem serdcem ozhidaya,
V tvoix ob``yatiyax zaby't`sya i zasnut`…
I pust` vosstanu ya, sud`bu blagoslovlyaya,
Uzrev svobody' luch, soznayu vsej dushoj,
Chto dlya tebya odnoj, strana moya rodnaya,
I zhil ya, i stradal, i zhertvoval soboj!..

Confirmed with Армянская муза, М: Типо-литогр. Т-ва И. Н. Кушнерев и Ко, 1907.
