Cherkesskaja pesnja (Pushkin, set by A. Aliabev, Y. Genishta, L. Maurer, K. Vil'boa, A. Yegorov) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


 V reke bezhit gremuchij val;
 V gorakh bezmolvije nochnoje:
 Kazak ustalyj zadremal,
 Sklonjas' na kopije stal'noje.
 Ne spi, kazak: vo t'me nochnoj,
 Chechenec khodit za rekoj.

 Kazak plyvet na chelnoke,
 Vlacha po dnu rechnomu seti. 
 Kazak, utonesh' ty v reke,
 Kak tonut malen'kije deti,
 Kupajas' zharkoju poroj:
 Chechenec khodit za rekoj.

 Na beregu zavetnykh vod
 Cvetut bogatyje stanicy;
 Veselyj pljashet khorovod.
 Begite russkije pevicy;
 Speshite, krasnyje, domoj:
 Chechenec khodit za rekoj.
