by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Zaklinanije vody i ognja
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ja svet zazhgu, ja svet zazhgu na `etom beregu.
Idi tikhon'ko.
Sledi, na kamne jest' voda,
Idi so mnoj, s ognem, tuda, s ognem, tuda.
Na belom kamne jest' voda,
Na belom kamne jest' voda.
Idi tikhon'ko.
Ruka s rukoj, ruka s rukoj,
Zdes' kto-to jest' drugoj.
Idi tikhon'ko.
Tot kto-to, mozhet, slyshit nas.
Sledi, chtob svet nash ne pogas,
Chtoby voda ne prolilas'.
Tot kto-to, mozhet, slyshit nas.
Tot kto-to, mozhet, slyshit, mozhet, slyshit nas.
Idi tikhon'ko.
My svet nesjom, my svet nesjom,
Raby nam noch' so dnjom.
Idi tikhon'ko.
Sledi, ruka s rukoj tverda, na belom kamne jest' voda.
Sveti, idjom s ognem tuda.
Sveti, sledi, sledi, sveti.
Idi tokhon'ko.
Idi tokhon'ko.
Idi tokhon'ko...
