Davno li roskošno ty rozoj cvela, no žizni nepročnoj minula vesna. I znojnogo leta paljaščej krasoj, Ty pyšno odeta blestyš' predo mnoj, i čudno mercan'e večernej zvezdy, i čudno sijan'e tvoej krasoty. Davno li roskošno ty rozoj cvela, no žizny nepročnoj minula vesna. Jarko denica gorit, svežej krasoju manit. Net, ne otdam ja tebja, čudnaja deva moja! Nežnaja roza vzošla, junoj krasoj rascvela. Net, ne otdam ja tebja, čudnaja deva moja!
