Budet pamat` o tebe moej Edinstvennoj otradoj Moj lyubimy'j, moj rodimy'j kraj! Navek mne serdce toska pronzila, Pogiblo vsyo, chto v zhizni by'lo milo, Moya lyubov` ushla vo mrak mogily', I zhizn` ushla! Ax! I vokrug mne vsyo posty'lo, Zhit` kak prezhde, net uzh sily' Tam gde yunost` tak by'la svetla!
