Menja razdeli dogola,
Kogda vveli v tjur'mu;
Sud'boj srazhen iz-za ugla,
Nizvergnut ja vo t'mu.

Proshchaj, veselyj khorovod,
Proshchaj, devichij smekh,
Zdes' nado mnoj mogil'nyj svod,
Zdes' umer ja dlja vsekh.

Sovsem ne tot, chto prezhde:
Teper' ja arestant,
I vot konec nadezhde.

V kakoj-to jame kak medved'
Khozhu vpered -- nazad.
A nebo... luchshe ne smotret' --
Ja nebu zdes' ne rad.
V kakoj-to jame kak medved'
Khozhu vpered -- nazad.

a text in French by Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918) , from Alcools, in À la Santé, no. 3, published 1913

Za chto ty pechal' mne `etu prines?
Skazhi, vsemogushchij bozhe.
O szhal'sja! V glazakh moikh netu slez,
Na masku lico pokhozhe.

Ty vidish', skol'ko neschastnykh serdec
Pod svodom tjuremnym b'etsja!
Sorvi zhe s menja ternovyj venec,
Ne to on mne v mozg vop'etsja.

Den' konchilsja. Lampa nad golovoju
Gorit, okruzhennaja t'moj.
Vse tikho. Nas v kamere tol'ko dvoe:
Ja i rassudok moj.
