by Stepan Gavrilovich Petrov (1869 - 1941), as Скиталец (Skitalec)

Ruchej
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Serebristyj ruchej
Mezh lugov i polej,
Ja bespechno bezhal
I na solnce igral.

Byl svoboden moj put'
Pod sijanijem dnja,
No sdavili mne grud'
I pojmali menja.

V zolotuju volnu
Ne gljaditsja trava:
Za plotinoj, v plenu
Ja verchu zhernova.

I drozhit celyj dom
Ot raboty mojej...
Raz metat' by krugom 
Ukhishren'ja ljudej!

Slovno lev ja rychu,
Zolny v sljozy droblju!
Ja svobody khochu,
Ja svobodu ljublju!
