by Viktor Aleksandrovich Krylov (1838 - 1908)

Arija plennika
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ja odin ostalsja, predannyj zabven'ju,
JA odin v okovach, net mne utešen'ja,
Net, net, net mne utešen'ja.
Solnce skrylosja… Noč' spokojnaja…
Dremljut chiščniki, dremljut izvergi.
Odnomu liš' mne, mne pokoju net,
Net svobody mne, net i sčast'ja mne.
Mež utesov, skal, mež kavkazskich gor
JA umru vdali ot rodnych, druzej…
I poslal by im svoj poslednij vzdoch,
Da i tot zamret zdes' v grudi moej.
Ach! začem v ėtot čas vspominat' o tom,
Čemu vnov' ne byvat', čego vnov' ne vidat',
Ne vidat'!
No kak grustno, grustno vdali
Vspominat' o nej i mečtat' o nej,
I otsjuda, slat' otsjuda ej
Svoj proščal'nyj privet,
Proščal'nyj privet, otsjuda slat' ej
Proščal'nyj svoj privet.

Smert' blizka, i toska serdce gložet,
I moj um polon dum nesterpimych.
Znaju ja, smert' moja nedaleka.
JA ljubil i sgubil svoe sčast'e,
JA ljubil i sgubil svoe sčast'e,
I už, znat', ne vidat' ego snova,
Ne vidat' ego snova…
Ach! Začem v ėtot čas vspominat' o tom,
Čemu vnov' ne byvat',
Čego vnov' ne vidat', ne vidat'…
No kak grustno, grustno vdali
Vspominat' o nej i mečtat' o nej,
I otsjuda slat', otsjuda ej
Svoj proščal'nyj privet,
Proščal'nyj privet, otsjuda slat' ej
Proščal'nyj moj privet.
