O babochka, o musul'manka,
V razrezannom savane vsja —
Zhiznjanochka i umiranka,
Takaja bol'shaja, sija!
S bol'shimi usami kusava
Ushla s golovoju v burnus.
O, flagom razvernutyj savan, —
Slozhi svoi kryl'ja — bojus'!

O butterfly, O Moslem‑woman
Language:
English
O butterfly, O Moslem-woman,
All wrapped in a cut shroud,
Living and dying
So big a one!
With long moustaches, a biter,
All plunged in an Arabian mantle.
O shroud unfolded like a flag,
Fold up your wings, I am afraid!
