Sestre
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Armenian (հայերեն)
Slovno molnii luch, slovno grom iz tuch, Omrachen dushoj, ya na boj poshel. Slovno staya tuch nad zubczami kruch, Mily'j drug sestra, brat tvoj v boj poshel. A utixnet boj — ne ishhi menya V udaloj tolpe boevy'x druzej, Ty' ishhi, sestra, vorona konya, On kopy'tom b`et v tishine polej. Ne ishhi dusha, ne ishhi druzhka, Na xmel`nom piru, sred` tovarishhej, Vzvoet gorny'j vetr, kinet gorst` peska V tvoego druzhka na pozharishhe… I chuzhaya mat`, ne rodnaya mat` Budet slezy' lit` nad mogiloyu, Ne moya sestra — gorevat`, ry'dat`, Rassy'pat` czvety' nad mogiloyu.
