Pesn' starika
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ty pomniš', brat, te vremena, Kogda s toboj na ratnoj službe Odin rodnye znamena Szyvali nas k gorjačej družbe? Teper' my dožili zimy: Gljadim v otverztuju mogilu. No sochranim do smerti my V duše ogon' i v družbe silu. My pamjat'ju odnoj živëm Teper', moj drug, v nemom pokoe, I ne guljaem my vdvoëm V piru štykov i v šumnom boe. No esli kriknet kraj rodnoj Na pro vragov opjat' nam skazet, Trjachnem, tovarišč, starinoj, I starina sebja pokažet.
