Legenda
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the Armenian (հայերեն) 
Kogda vsederzhitelem by'l chelovek sotvoryon,
Vzyal zemlyu vlady'ka s chety'ryox otdalenny'x storon,
Vzyal zemlyu s vostoka i s zapada vzyal,
Vzyal zemlyu on s severa, s yuga on vzyal,
Daby' chelovek, obxodya podnebesnuyu tverd`,
Povsyudu sebya oshhushhal, kak v rodnoj storone.
Kogda zhe ustanet on i neumolimaya smert`
Rasstat`sya velit s cheredoyu zhelanij zemny'x,
Vezde b emu sly'shalsya materi laskovoj zov:
Pridi, mily'j sy'n, uspokojsya v ob``yat`yax moix!
