Bedny'j pevecz
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Pevecz na lire vospeval
Veselie, lyubov` i mladost`;
Teper` pevecz zadumchiv stal,
Dushi ego uvyala radost`.

Ne slavit on lyubvi tvorcza,
V nem genij obednyal mechtami
Ostav`te zh bednogo pevcza
S ego toskoyu i slezami.

Neschast`e buryu navleklo,
I my'sl` pechal`na, bezotradna,
Brazdy' slozhila na chelo,
I pesn` ego dika i xladna

Kak vopl` podzemny'j mertvecza,
Otverzhennogo nebesami.
Ostav`te zh bednogo pevcza
S ego toskoyu i slezami.
