Na korable
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Stikhajet. Noch' temna. Svisti, chtob my ne spali!.. 
Jeshche vcherashnjaja groza ne unjalas': 
Te zh volny burnye, chto s vechera pleskali, 
Ne zakachav, jeshche kachajut nas. 

V bezlunnom mrake my dorogu poterjali, 
Razbitym fonarem ne osveshchen kompas. 
Nesi ognja! zvoni, svisti, chtob my ne spali! - 
Jeshche vcherashnjaja groza ne unjalas'... 

Nash flag poryvisto i bespokojno vejet; 
Nash kapitan vpot'makh stoit, razdum'ja poln... 
Zarja!.. druz'ja, zarja! Gljadite, kak jasnejet - 
I kapitan, i my, i grebni chernykh voln. 

Kto bolen, kto ustal, kto bodr jeshche, kto plachet, 
Chto burej slomano, razbito, sneseno - 
Vse jasno: bozhij den', vstavaja, zla ne prjachet... 
No - ne pogibli my!.. i mnogo spaseno... 

My machty ukrepim, my parusa podtjanem, 
My nashim topotom vstrevozhim prazdnykh len' - 
I dal'she v put' pojdem, i druzhno pesnju grjanem: 
Gospod', blagoslovi grjadushchij den'!
