Ja khochu byt' svobodnoj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ja khochu byt' svobodnoj Svobodnoj, Tochno veter kholodnyj Il' zhguchij, Chto igrajet s nebesnoj tuchej. Ja khochu byt' svobodnoj, Svobodnoj, Kak potok mnogovodnyj, Mjatezhnyj, Chto stremitsja k puchine bezbrezhnoj. Ja khochu byt' svobodnoj, Svobodnoj, Kak orel blagorodnyj, Moguchij, Chto vitajet nad gornoju kruchej. Da, ja zhazhdu svobody, Svobody! Pust' zhivu ja ne gody — Mgnoven'ja: V nej vostorg, v nej ogon' vdokhnoven'ja… Ja umru, ja umru bez svobody.
