Zemlya moya zlataya!
Language: Russian (Русский)
Zemlya moya zlataya! Osennij svetly'j xram! Gusej kriklivy'x staya Nesyotsya k oblakam. To dush preobrazhenny'x Neschislimaya rat`, S ozyor podnyavshis` sonny'x, Letit v nebesny'j sad. A vperedi ix lebed`. V glazax, kak roshha, grust`. Ne ty' li plachesh` v nebe, Otchalivshaya Rus`? Leti, leti, ne bejsya, Vsemu svoj chas i breg. Vetra stekayut v pesnyu, A pesnya kanet v vek. Leti, zlataya Rus`!
