Kovarny'j drug, no serdczu mily'j
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kovarny'j drug, no serdczu mily'j,
YA dal obet zaby't` tvoj krov,
Moi mechty', moyu lyubov`,
Zaby't` vse to, chto zhizni l`stilo.

Molil tebya ne narushat`
Otradny'j mir, uedinen`e;
No ty', zhestokaya, opyat`
Moe trevozhish` snoviden`e.
No ty', zhestokaya, opyat`
Moe trevozhish` snoviden`e.

Zachem tomu tvoe uchast`e,
Nad kem letit sud`by' ruka,
Uzhel` stradal`cza, bednyaka
Zaviden tak i prizrak schast`ya?

Kogda lyubvi moej svyatoj
Tebe vnimat` ne prikazali,
Ostav` menya skorbet` dushoj,
Ty' ne pojmesh` moej pechali!
Ostav` menya skorbet` dushoj,
Ty' ne pojmesh` moej pechali!
