by Pyotr Andreyevich Vyazemsky (1792 - 1878)

Druz`yam
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ya p`yu za zdorov`e nemnogix,
Nemnogix, no verny'x druzej,
Druzej neuklonchivo strogix
V soblaznax izmenchivy'x dnej.

YA p`yu za zdorov`e dalekix,
Dalekix, no mily'x druzej,
Druzej, kak i ya, odinokix
Sred` chuzhdy'x serdczam ix lyudej.

V moj kubok s vinom l`yutsya slezy',
No sladok i chist ix potok;
Tak s aly'mi cherny'e rozy'
Vplelis` v moj zastol`ny'j venok.

Moj kubok za zdrav`e nemnogix,
Nemnogix, no verny'x druzej,
Druzej neuklonchivo strogix
V soblaznax izmenchivy'x dnej.

Za zdrav`e i blizhnix dalekix,
Dalekix, no serdczu rodny'x,
I v pamyat` druzej odinokix,
Pochivshix v mogilax nemy'x.
