by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Ya pamyatnik sebe vozdvig nerukotvorny'j
Language: Russian (Русский) 
             Exegi monumentum

YA pamyatnik sebe vozdvig nerukotvorny'j,
K nemu ne zarostet narodnaya tropa,
Voznessya vy'she on glavoyu nepokornoj
Aleksandrijskogo stolpa.

Net, ves` ya ne umru — dusha v zavetnoj lire
Moj prax perezhivet i tlen`ya ubezhit —
I slaven budu ya, dokol` v podlunnom mire
Zhiv budet xot` odin piit.

Slux obo mne projdet po vsej Rusi velikoj,
I nazovet menya vsyak sushhij v nej yazy'k,
I gordy'j vnuk slavyan, i finn, i ny'ne dikoj
Tunguz, i drug stepej kalmy'k.

I dolgo budu tem lyubezen ya narodu,
Chto chuvstva dobry'e ya liroj probuzhdal,
Chto v moj zhestokoj vek vosslavil ya Svobodu
I milost` k padshim prizy'val.

Velen`yu bozhiyu, o muza, bud` poslushna,
Obidy' ne strashas`, ne trebuya vencza,
Xvalu i klevetu priemli ravnodushno,
‎I ne osporivaj glupcza.
