Xoronil ya tebya, i, toskuya
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Xoronil ya tebya, i, toskuya,
YA rastil na mogile czvety',
No v lazuri, zvenya i likuya,
Trepetala, blazhennaya, ty'. 
 
I k rodimoj zemle ya klonilsya,
I ujti za toboyu xotel,
No, kogda ya ry'dal i molilsya,
Zvonkij smex tvoj ko mne doletel. 
 
Poxoronny'e slyozy' naprasny' –-
Ty' trepeshhesh`, smeyosh`sya, zhiva!
I rastut na mogile prekrasnoj
Ne czvety' –- ognevy'e slova!
