Language: Russian (Русский)
O noch`, o noch`, leti streloj! Nesnosen otdy'x Svyatoslavu, On zhazhdet bitvy' rokovoj, O noch`, o noch`, leti streloj! Czy'mijskij krepok li tvoj shhit? Ne tonki l` kovany'e laty'? Nash knyaz` ubijstvenno razit. Czy'mijskij krepok li tvoj shhit? Druzhine borzy'x daj konej, Ne to mechi ee nagonyat, I ne uskachet ot mechej. Druzhine borzy'x daj konej, Ne to mechi ee nagonyat. Ty' rat` obshirnuyu privel. Nemnogo nas, no my' - slavyane; Udar nash metok i tyazhel. Ty' rat` obshirnuyu privel, Nemnogo nas, no my' - slavyane. O noch`, o noch`, leti streloj, Polya, otkrojtes` dlya pobedy', Prosnisya, uzhas boevoj! O noch`, o noch`, leti streloj! Polya, otkrojtes` dlya pobedy'!
