[Как]1 хорошо... Взгляни, вдали
Огнём горит река;
Цветным ковром луга легли,
Белеют облака.
Здесь нет людей... Здесь тишина.
Здесь только Бог да я.
Цветы, да старая сосна,
Да ты, мечта моя...

ここは素晴らしい... 見て、遠くで
Language: Japanese (日本語)  after the Russian (Русский) 
ここは素晴らしい...  見て、遠くで 
川が炎のように染まり 
草原は色とりどりの絨毯のようで 
雲は真っ白だ 
ここには誰もいない...  ここは静かだ... 
ここにいるのは神と私 
花と古い松の木と
君、私の夢...
