Ya odin ostalsa, predannyy zabveniyu,
Ya odin vok ovakh, net mne utesheniya,
Net, net, net mne utesheniya.
Solntse skrylasa… Noch' spokoynaya…
Dremlyut khitshniki, dremlyut izvеrgi.
Odno mulish' mne, mne pokoyou net,
Net svobody mne, net i stchast'ya mne.
Mejdu u tyo sov,skal, mej kavkazskikh gor
Ya umru vdali ot rodnykh, druzey…
I poslal by im svoi posledniy vzdokh,
Da i tot zamret zdes' v grudi moei.
Akh! zachem v etot chas vospominat' o tom,
Chemu vnov' ne byvat', chemu vnov' ne vidat',
Ne vidat'!
No kak grusno, grusno vdali
Vospominat' o nee i mechtat' o nee,
I at suda ', slat' at suda' ei
Svoy proshchalnyy privet,
Proshchalnyy privet,at suda' slat' ei
Proshchalnyy svoy privet.
Smert' blizka, i toska serdtse blojet,
I moi um polon dum nester pimykh.
Znau ya, smert' moya nedalyoka.
Ya lyubil i sgubil svoe schast'e,
Ya lyubil i sgubil svoe schast'e,
I ouj, znat', ne vidat' ego snova,
Ne vidat' ego snova…
Akh! zachem v etot chas vospominat' o tom,
Chemu vnov' ne byvat',
Chemu vnov' ne vidat', ne vidat'…
No kak grusno, grusno vdali
Vospominat' o nee i mechtat' o nee,
I at suda ', slat' at suda' ei
Svoy prosh tchalnyy privet,
Prosh tchalnyy privet,at suda' slat' ei
Proshchalnyy svoy privet.
Proshtchalnyy moy privet…
