Ya xochu by't` svobodnoj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ya xochu by't` svobodnoj Svobodnoj, Tochno veter xolodny'j Il` zhguchij, Chto igraet s nebesnoj tuchej. YA xochu by't` svobodnoj, Svobodnoj, Kak potok mnogovodny'j, Myatezhny'j, Chto stremitsya k puchine bezbrezhnoj. YA xochu by't` svobodnoj, Svobodnoj, Kak orel blagorodny'j, Moguchij, Chto vitaet nad gornoyu kruchej. Da, ya zhazhdu svobody', Svobody'! Pust` zhivu ya ne gody' — Mgnoven`ya: V nej vostorg, v nej ogon` vdoxnoven`ya… YA umru, ya umru bez svobody'.
