by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Bestuzhev-Marlinsky (1797 - 1837)

Kabardinskaya pesnya
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Na Kazbek sletalis` tuchi,
Slovno gorny'e orly',
Im navstrechu na skale
Uzdenej otryad letuchij!
Vy'she, vy'she, kruche, kruche,
Skachet, russkimi razbit,
Sled ix kroviyu kipit,
Sled ix kroviyu kipit.

Na xvostax polki pogoni,
Zanesen i shtuk, i mech,
Smert`yu seetsya kartech`…
Net spasen`ya v sile, v brone.
Begu, begu, koni, koni!
Pali vy'… a daleka
Krepost` gornogo leska,
Krepost` gornogo leska.

Serdce nashix – russkix meta…
Na koleni pal mulla,
I molitva, kak strela,
Do proroka Magometa
V more sveta, v nebo sveta
Poletela, poneslas`:
«Ish, Alla! Ne vy'daj nas!»

Net spasen`ya niotkuda!
Vdrug, po maniyu nebes
Zashumel dalekij les:
Veet, pleshhet, katit grudoj
Nizhe, blizhe, chudo, chudo!..
Musul`mane spaseny'
Sred` lesistoj krutizny'.
