by Viktor Aleksandrovich Krylov (1838 - 1908)

Arija plennika
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ja odin ostalsja, predannyj zabven'ju,
Ja odin v okovakh, net mne uteshen'ja,
Net, net, net mne uteshen'ja.
Solnce skrylosja… Noch' spokojnaja…
Dremljut khishchniki, dremljut izvergi.
Odnomu lish' mne, mne pokoju net,
Net svobody mne, net i schast'ja mne.
Mezh utesov, skal, mezh kavkazskikh gor
Ja umru vdali ot rodnykh, druzej…
I poslal by im svoj poslednij vzdokh,
Da i tot zamret zdes' v grudi mojej.
Akh! zachem v `etot chas vspominat' o tom,
Chemu vnov' ne byvat', chego vnov' ne vidat',
Ne vidat'!
No kak grustno, grustno vdali
Vspominat' o nej i mechtat' o nej,
I otsjuda, slat' otsjuda jej
Svoj proshchal'nyj privet,
Proshchal'nyj privet, otsjuda slat' jej
Proshchal'nyj svoj privet.

Smert' blizka, i toska serdce glozhet,
I moj um polon dum nesterpimykh.
Znaju ja, smert' moja nedaleka.
Ja ljubil i sgubil svoje schast'e,
Ja ljubil i sgubil svoje schast'e,
I uzh, znat', ne vidat' jego snova,
Ne vidat' jego snova…
Akh! Zachem v `etot chas vspominat' o tom,
Chemu vnov' ne byvat',
Chego vnov' ne vidat', ne vidat'…
No kak grustno, grustno vdali
Vspominat' o nej i mechtat' o nej,
I otsjuda slat', otsjuda jej
Svoj proshchal'nyj privet,
Proshchal'nyj privet, otsjuda slat' jej
Proshchal'nyj moj privet.
