Proshchaj, Grenada!
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Spanish (Español)
Proshchaj, Grenada, moja Grenada, S toboj naveki mne rasstat'sja nado! Proshchaj, ljubimyj kraj, ochej uslada, Navek proshchaj! Akh! Budet pamat' o tebe mojej Jedinstvennoj otradoj Moj ljubimyj, moj rodimyj kraj! Navek mne serdce toska pronzila, Pogiblo vsjo, chto v zhizni bylo milo, Moja ljubov' ushla vo mrak mogily, I zhizn' ushla! Akh! I vokrug mne vsjo postylo, Zhit' kak prezhde, net uzh sily Tam gde junost' tak byla svetla!
