Kovarnyj drug, no serdcu milyj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kovarnyj drug, no serdcu milyj,
Ja dal obet zabyt' tvoj krov,
Moi mechty, moju ljubov',
Zabyt' vse to, chto zhizni l'stilo.

Molil tebja ne narushat'
Otradnyj mir, ujedinen'e;
No ty, zhestokaja, opjat'
Moje trevozhish' snoviden'e.
No ty, zhestokaja, opjat'
Moje trevozhish' snoviden'e.

Zachem tomu tvoje uchast'e,
Nad kem letit sud'by ruka,
Uzhel' stradal'ca, bednjaka
Zaviden tak i prizrak schast'ja?

Kogda ljubvi mojej svjatoj
Tebe vnimat' ne prikazali,
Ostav' menja skorbet' dushoj,
Ty ne pojmesh' mojej pechali!
Ostav' menja skorbet' dushoj,
Ty ne pojmesh' mojej pechali!
