Zhit'! budem zhit'!

Zhit'! budem zhit'!
I ot sud'by voz'mem khotja b odnu vesnu,
khotja b odno mgnoven'je
bez zhalkoj slabosti razdum'ja i somnen'ja...
V nevedomuju dal' svobodnyje pojdjom!
I jesli tam mogila i pokoj,
cvety uvjadshije i smolkshije zhelan'ja,
ja vizhu nad soboj vesenneje sijan'je...
Segodnja ja zhivu, i den' segodnja moj...
