by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Ja pamjatnik sebe vozdvig nerukotvornyj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
             Exegi monumentum

Ja pamjatnik sebe vozdvig nerukotvornyj,
K nemu ne zarostet narodnaja tropa,
Voznessja vyshe on glavoju nepokornoj
Aleksandrijskogo stolpa.

Net, ves' ja ne umru — dusha v zavetnoj lire
Moj prakh perezhivet i tlen'ja ubezhit —
I slaven budu ja, dokol' v podlunnom mire
Zhiv budet khot' odin piit.

Slukh obo mne projdet po vsej Rusi velikoj,
I nazovet menja vsjak sushchij v nej jazyk,
I gordyj vnuk slavjan, i finn, i nyne dikoj
Tunguz, i drug stepej kalmyk.

I dolgo budu tem ljubezen ja narodu,
Chto chuvstva dobrye ja liroj probuzhdal,
Chto v moj zhestokoj vek vosslavil ja Svobodu
I milost' k padshim prizyval.

Velen'ju bozhiju, o muza, bud' poslushna,
Obidy ne strashas', ne trebuja venca,
Khvalu i klevetu prijemli ravnodushno,
‎I ne osporivaj glupca.
