Davno li roskoshno ty rozoj cvela, no zhizni neprochnoj minula vesna. I znojnogo leta paljashchej krasoj, Ty pyshno odeta blestysh' predo mnoj, i chudno mercan'e vechernej zvezdy, i chudno sijan'e tvojej krasoty. Davno li roskoshno ty rozoj cvela, no zhizny neprochnoj minula vesna. Jarko denica gorit, svezhej krasoju manit. Net, ne otdam ja tebja, chudnaja deva moja! Nezhnaja roza vzoshla, junoj krasoj rascvela. Net, ne otdam ja tebja, chudnaja deva moja!
