Smert' voina
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Armenian (հայերեն)
Ja gibnu za tebja, otchizna dorogaja, I l'jotsja krov' moja gorjacheju strujoj, Svjatoj tvojej zemli dolinu oroshaja… No pust' tvoi syny ne plachut nado mnoj! Na moj kholodnyj prakh da ne prol'jutsja sljozy! Ne sornaja trava pokrojet krov' moju, A rozy vyrastut… ukrasjat `eti rozy Chelo tvoikh synov, proslavlennykh v boju! O, daj obnjat' tebja, otchizna dorogaja! Pozvol' obnjat' tvoju stradal'cheskuju grud' I, vesti radostnoj vsem serdcem ozhidaja, V tvoikh ob"jatijakh zabyt'sja i zasnut'… I pust' vosstanu ja, sud'bu blagoslovljaja, Uzrev svobody luch, soznaju vsej dushoj, Chto dlja tebja odnoj, strana moja rodnaja, I zhil ja, i stradal, i zhertvoval soboj!..
Confirmed with Армянская муза, М: Типо-литогр. Т-ва И. Н. Кушнерев и Ко, 1907.
