Poka bushujet krov' mladaja
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Armenian (հայերեն)
Poka bushujet krov' mladaja Gorjachej, pylkoju strujoj, — Cvetami radosti igraja, Vsja zhizn' sulít nam raj zemnoj. Ljubov', nash pylkij dukh charuja, Lobzan'e lzhivoje darít I sladkim jadom poceluja Bol'noje serdce usypit… No mig pridjot… somknjom my veki, Nam nichego ne budet zhal', I skazhem my: «prosti naveki, I radost' zhizni, i pechal'». Togda, o smert', tvoj mig nastanet! Svojo lobzan'e nam daruj! Uzh ne izmenit, ne obmanet Kholodnoj smerti poceluj!..
