Prostite vy, kholmy
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Prostite vy, kholmy, polja rodnye
prijutno-mirnyj, jasnyj dol, prosti!
S Ioannoj vam uzh bol"she ne vidats"sja, 
navek ona, navek vam govorit prosti!
Druz"ja luga, dreva, moi pitomcy,
akh vam bez menja i cvest" i otcvetat"!
Prokhladnyj grot, potok moj bystrotechnyj, 
idu ot vas i ne pridu k vam vechno!
Mesta, gde vse byvalo mne usladoj,
otnyne vy so mnoj razluceny,
moj stada, ne budu vam ogradoj,
bez pastyrja brodit" vy suzhdeny.
Dostalos" mne pasti inoje stado
na pazhitjakh ubijstvennoj vojny.
Tak vyshneje naznachilo izbran"e,
menja vlechet ne sujetnykh zhelan"e!
O Bozhe! Tebe moje otkryto serdce!
Ono toskujet, ono stradajet!
Prostite vy navek, kholmy, polja rodnye, 
prijutno-mirnyj dol, prosti, prosti!
