by Viktor Aleksandrovich Krylov (1838 - 1908)

Ariya plennika
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ya odin ostalsya, predanny'j zabven`yu,
YA odin v okovax, net mne uteshen`ya,
Net, net, net mne uteshen`ya.
Solnce skry'losya… Noch` spokojnaya…
Dremlyut xishhniki, dremlyut izvergi.
Odnomu lish` mne, mne pokoyu net,
Net svobody' mne, net i schast`ya mne.
Mezh utesov, skal, mezh kavkazskix gor
YA umru vdali ot rodny'x, druzej…
I poslal by' im svoj poslednij vzdox,
Da i tot zamret zdes` v grudi moej.
Ax! zachem v e`tot chas vspominat` o tom,
Chemu vnov` ne by'vat`, chego vnov` ne vidat`,
Ne vidat`!
No kak grustno, grustno vdali
Vspominat` o nej i mechtat` o nej,
I otsyuda, slat` otsyuda ej
Svoj proshhal`ny'j privet,
Proshhal`ny'j privet, otsyuda slat` ej
Proshhal`ny'j svoj privet.

Smert` blizka, i toska serdce glozhet,
I moj um polon dum nesterpimy'x.
Znayu ya, smert` moya nedaleka.
YA lyubil i sgubil svoe schast`e,
YA lyubil i sgubil svoe schast`e,
I uzh, znat`, ne vidat` ego snova,
Ne vidat` ego snova…
Ax! Zachem v e`tot chas vspominat` o tom,
Chemu vnov` ne by'vat`,
Chego vnov` ne vidat`, ne vidat`…
No kak grustno, grustno vdali
Vspominat` o nej i mechtat` o nej,
I otsyuda slat`, otsyuda ej
Svoj proshhal`ny'j privet,
Proshhal`ny'j privet, otsyuda slat` ej
Proshhal`ny'j moj privet.
