by Wilhelm Küchelbeker (1797 - 1846)

О Делвиг, Делвиг!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
О Дельвиг, Дельвиг! Что награда
И дел высоких и стихов? 
Таланту что и где отрада
Среди злодеев и глупцов?

В руке суровой Ювенала 
Злодеям грозный быч свистит
И краску гонит с их ланит. 
И власть тиранов задрожала. 

О Дельвиг, Дельвиг, что гоненья?
Бессмертие равно удел 
И смелых вдохновенных дел
И сладостного песнопеня!

Так не умрёт и наш союз, 
Свободный, радостный и гордый! 
И в счастье и в несчастье твёрдый
Союз любимцев вечных муз!
