Poka bušuet krov' mladaja
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Armenian (հայերեն)
Poka bušuet krov' mladaja Gorjačej, pylkoju struëj, — Cvetami radosti igraja, Vsja žizn' sulít nam raj zemnoj. Ljubov', naš pylkij duch čaruja, Lobzan'e lživoe darít I sladkim jadom poceluja Bol'noe serdce usypit… No mig pridët… somknëm my veki, Nam ničego ne budet žal', I skažem my: «prosti naveki, I radost' žizni, i pečal'». Togda, o smert', tvoj mig nastanet! Svoë lobzan'e nam daruj! Už ne izmenit, ne obmanet Cholodnoj smerti poceluj!..
