Davno l` v bespechnosti schastlivoj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
1 Davno l` v bespechnosti schastlivoj, 
  sredi zabav, ne znaya zla 
V ladu s fortunoj prixotlivoj 
  spokojno zhizn` moya tekla.
YA vsled za slavoj ne stremilsya,
  dovol`ny'j zhrebiem blagim.
Uvidel Lizui prostilsya navek ya 
  s schastiem moim !

2. Davno li vsex zabav dushoyu 
  v krugu priyatelej ya by'l 
I skuki nikogda s soboyu 
  v besedu ix ne prinosil.
Bezdelkoj vsyakoj veselilsya 
  minuty' ne by'l bez zatej ...
Uvidel Lizui prostilsya 
  navek s veselosty'yu moej.
