by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

Vot on, maj, svetly'j maj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vot on, maj, svetly'j maj,
Vot on, svetly'j maj!

E`j, xozyajka, radi Boga,
Ne goni nas ot poroga,
Koshelek tugoj nam daj!
Nam ne est`, nam ne pit`,
Nam by' svechku zasvetit`,
Prechistoj Deve ugodit`!

Vot on, maj, svetly'j maj!
Vot on, svetly'j maj!

Vse polya polny' pshenicej,
Iisus vozdast storicej,
Zhdi spasen`ya, zhdi nagrad
Za xleba i vinograd.
Xrista molim, Boga molim,
Pust` Ego svyataya volya
Vam podast presvetly'j raj!

Vot on, maj, svetly'j maj,
Vot on, svetly'j maj!
