Voennaja pesnja
Language: Russian (Русский)
(Posvjaščena knjazju P. A. Vjazemskomu) Zatrubili truby brannye, Sobralasja rat' mogučaja, Stala grud'ju protiv nedruga — Za carja, za krov, za rodinu. Ty prosti teper', otec i mat', Ty prosti teper', moj milyj drug, Ty prosti teper', i step' i les, Dorogaja žizn', ves' belyj svet! Gej, tovarišč moj, železnyj štyk! Posluži ž ty mne po-staromu: Kak služil ty pri Suvorove Silaču-otcu, dedu-voinu. Gej, sestra, ty sablja ostraja! Popiruem my u nedruga, Poguljaem, s nim potešimsja, Vyp'em bragi busurmanskija!.. Už kogda mne, dobru molodcu, Prisudil Bog složit' golovu, — Ne na zemlju ž ja složu eë! A složit' složu — na grudu tel… Truba brannaja, voennaja! Čto molčiš'? Trubi, daj volju mne: V grudi serdce bogatyrskoe Zakipelo, raschodilosja!
