by Aleksey Stepanovich Khomyakov (1804 - 1860)

Podvig est` i v srazhen`i
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Podvig est` i v srazhen`i,
Podvig est` i v bor`be,
Vy'sshij podvig v terpen`i
Lyubvi i mol`be.

Esli serdce zany'lo
Pered zloboj lyudskoj,
Il` nasil`e sxvatilo 
Tebya cep`yu stal`yuj;

Esli skorbi zemny'e
Zhalom v dushu vpilis`, --
S veroj bodroj i smeloj
Ty' za podvig beris`.

Est` u podviga kry'l`ya,
I vzletish` ty' na nix,
Bez truda, bez usil`ya,
Vy'she mrakov zemny'x;

Vy'she kry'shi temnicy',
Vy'she zloby' slepoj,
Vy'she voplej i krikov
Gordoj cherni lyudskoj.
