O chyom mechtayut deti
Language: Russian (Русский) 
 Vezde na belom svete,
 Vezde mechtayut deti
 O toj strane, gde mraka net,
 Gde solnce yarko svetit, -
 O nashej miloj Rodine,
 Gde s pesnyami proxodim my',
 Ne znaya gorya i nevzgod, -
 Strany' sovetskoj deti.

Pripev:
    Mechtaya, deti
    Znayut i veryat:
    Vsyudu vesna rasczvetet.
    Veter vesennij
    Tuchi razveet, -
    Solnce nad mirom vzojdyot!

 Vezde na belom svete,
 Vezde mechtayut deti
 Priexat` k nam vesennim dnyom
 V stranu, gde solnce svetit.
 Projti polyami, roshhami,
 Projti po Krasnoj ploshhadi,
 Uvidet` zvyozdy' nad Kremlem
 Vezde mechtayut deti.

 I vse, o chyom na svete
 Vezde mechtayut deti,
 Druz`ya, my' vidim kazhdy'j den`,
 Prosnuvshis` na rassvete:
 My' vidim ploshhad` Krasnuyu,
 Na bashnyax zvyozdy' yasny'e,
 Nikto ne smozhet pogasit`
 Rodny'e zvyozdy' e`ti.
