Language: Russian (Русский)
Ty' pomnish`, brat, te vremena, Kogda s toboj na ratnoj sluzhbe Odin rodny'e znamena Szy'vali nas k goryachej druzhbe? Teper` my' dozhili zimy': Glyadim v otverztuyu mogilu. No soxranim do smerti my' V dushe ogon` i v druzhbe silu. My' pamyat`yu odnoj zhivyom Teper`, moj drug, v nemom pokoe, I ne gulyaem my' vdvoyom V piru shty'kov i v shumnom boe. No esli kriknet kraj rodnoj Na pro vragov opyat` nam skazet, Tryaxnem, tovarishh, starinoj, I starina sebya pokazhet.
