Prostite vy', xolmy'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Prostite vy', xolmy', polya rodny'e
priyutno-mirny'j, yasny'j dol, prosti!
S Ioannoj vam uzh bol``she ne vidats``sya, 
navek ona, navek vam govorit prosti!
Druz``ya luga, dreva, moi pitomcy',
ax vam bez menya i czvest`` i otczvetat``!
Proxladny'j grot, potok moj by'strotechny'j, 
idu ot vas i ne pridu k vam vechno!
Mesta, gde vse by'valo mne usladoj,
otny'ne vy' so mnoj razluceny',
moj stada, ne budu vam ogradoj,
bez pasty'rya brodit`` vy' suzhdeny'.
Dostalos`` mne pasti inoe stado
na pazhityax ubijstvennoj vojny'.
Tak vy'shnee naznachilo izbran``e,
menya vlechet ne suetny'x zhelan``e!
O Bozhe! Tebe moe otkry'to serdce!
Ono toskuet, ono stradaet!
Prostite vy' navek, xolmy', polya rodny'e, 
priyutno-mirny'j dol, prosti, prosti!
