by Nikolai Mikhailovich Yazykov (1803 - 1846)

Bojcy' sadyatsya na konej
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Bojcy' sadyatsya na konej;
Bayana deva obnimaet,
Ona molchit, ona vzdy'xaet,
I slezy' gradom iz ochej.

``Proshhaj, proshhaj! Idu na bitvu,
Lyubi menya, moya krasa!

Molis`, usly'shat nebesa
Tvoyu nevinnuyu molitvu!``

Xor:
 I rat` na rodinu prishla;
 Bayana deva obnimaet,
 I rat` na rodinu prishla;
 Bayana deva obnimaet.

Shhita, vruchennogo toboj,
Bulat vraga ne pererubit;
Tebya pevecz tvoj ne razlyubit
I ne izmenitsya dushoj.

Oni rasstalis`, py'l` gustaya
Polya pokry'la, kak tuman.
Vragi, vam polno zhdat` slavyan;
Vam polno spat`, brega Dunaya!

Xor:
 Otradno grud` eyo vzdy'xaet,
 I devy' radost` ozhila.
 Otradno grud` eyo vzdy'xaet,
 I devy' radost` ozhila.

Vzoshla dennicza, vspy'xnul boi,
Drozhit shirokaya dolina,
O grek, strashna tvoya sud`bina,
Ty' ne vorotish`sya domoj!

Valyatsya vsadniki i koni,
Bulat drobitsya o bulat,
I pal uzhasno supostat
Pri shume yarostnoj pogoni.

Bayan otczam ne izmenil
Na pole gibeli i chesti:
Moguchij vrag udarom mesti
Ego shhita ne sokrushil.

Gordy'nya sil`nogo smirilas`:
Emu ne prazdnovat` vojny'.
