Moskau
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wie wölben dort sich deiner Kirchen Bogen! Wie schimmern der Paläste goldne Wände! Es schwärmt der Blick, wohin ich ihn versende, Von einer Pracht zur andern fortgeflogen. Da wälzen sich auf einmal glüh'nde Wogen: Es schleudern deiner Bürger eigne Hände Aufs eigne Dach die sprüh'nden Fackelbrände; Ein Feuerkreis hat prasselnd dich umzogen. O laß dich nur vom Aberwitz verdammen! Ihr Kirchen, stürzt! Paläste, brecht zusammen! Der Phönix Rußlands wirft sich in die Flammen. Doch hochverklärt aus seinem Feuerkranze Wird er erstehn im frischen Jugendglanze, Und Sankt Georg schwingt siegend seine Lanze.

Moskva
Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)
Kak vysoki cerkvej zlatye glavy, Kak carstvenno dvorcy tvoi sijajut! So vsekh storon glaza moi vstrechajut I gordyj blesk, i pamjatniki slavy. No chas tvoj bil, o gorod velichavyj! Tvoi grazhdane ruku podymajut, Treshchit ogon', i fakely pylajut, I ty stoish' v gorjachej rize lavy! O, pust' tebja ponosit isstuplen'e: Lomites' bashni, rush'tesja palaty! To russkij feniks, plamenem ob"jatyj, Gorit vekam… No blizko iskuplen'e; Uzhe pod klik i obshchije vostorgi Kop'e pobed podnjal svjatyj Georgij.
