Sestre
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Armenian (հայերեն)
Slovno molnii luč, slovno grom iz tuč, Omračen dušoj, ja na boj pošel. Slovno staja tuč nad zubcami kruč, Milyj drug sestra, brat tvoj v boj pošel. A utichnet boj — ne išči menja V udaloj tolpe boevych druzej, Ty išči, sestra, vorona konja, On kopytom b'et v tišine polej. Ne išči duša, ne išči družka, Na chmel'nom piru, sred' tovariščej, Vzvoet gornyj vetr, kinet gorst' peska V tvoego družka na požarišče… I čužaja mat', ne rodnaja mat' Budet slezy lit' nad mogiloju, Ne moja sestra — gorevat', rydat', Rassypat' cvety nad mogiloju.
