Language: Russian (Русский)  after the Azerbaijani (Azərbaycan dili)
Klubitsya volnoyu kipucheyu Kur, vosxodit dnevnoe svetilo; kak veselo serdczu, dushe kak legko! O, esli b naveki tak by'lo! Kubok polon moj, ya vpivayu s vinom i bodrost`, i radost`, i silu; osleplyaet menya chudny'j blesk ochej, o! esli b naveki tak by'lo! Vot noch` nastupaet, prirodu s nebes svetom krotkim luna ozarila, no i v mrake siyaet zvezda lyubvi, o! esli b naveki tak by'lo! Esli xochesh` ty', chtob dusha moya vsyu lyubov` v tvoi ochi izlila, skorej prixodi zhe, temno v nochi, o! esli b naveki tak by'lo!
