Svecha gorit i merknet
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Svecha gorit i merknet i vnov` gorit sil`nej, 
No merknet bezvozvratno siyan`e yuny'x dnej, 
Gori zhe, razgorajsya, poka eshyo ty' yun, 
Sil`nej, polnej kasajsya serdechny'x zvonkix strun. 

Chtob by'lo chto pripomnit` na sklone trudny'x let, 
Chtob starosti xolodnoj svetil netlenny'j svet -
Mechtanij blagorodny'x, pory'vov molody'x, 
Bezumny'x, no prekrasny'x, bezumny'x - i svyaty'x.
