Kak pesnja materi
nad kolybel'ju rebenka,
kak gornoe ėcho,
utrom na pastušij rožok otozvavšeesja,
kak dalekij priboj
rodnogo, davno ne vidennogo morja,
zvučit mne imja tvoë
triždy blažennoe: Aleksandrija!

Kak preryvistyj šepot
ljubovnych pod dubami priznanij,
kak tainstvennyj šum
tenistych rošč svjaščennych,
kak tamburin Kibely velikoj,
podobnyj dal'nemu gromu i golubej vorkovan'ju,
zvučit mne imja tvoë
triždy mudroe: Aleksandrija!

Kak zvuk truby pered boem,
klekot orlov nad bezdnoj,
šum kryl'ev letjaščej Niki,
zvučit mne imja tvoë
triždy velikoe: Aleksandrija!
