Trevoga ozhidan'ja...
V nochnuju mglu gljazhu za nim
I unoshus' mechtoj
Tuda, tuda, gde dyshit on,
Moj milyj, moj geroj!
O serdce, kak do toj pory,
Skazhi, kak dozhivu ja?
Kogda on vnov' ko mne pridet
I druga obnimu ja?
Skazav mne: «Do svidan'ja!»

Trevoga ozhidan'ja...
V nochnuju mglu gljazhu za nim
I unoshus' mechtoj
Tuda, tuda, gde dyshit on,
Moj milyj, moj geroj!
O serdce, kak do toj pory,
Skazhi, kak dozhivu ja?
Kogda on vnov' ko mne pridet
I druga obnimu ja?
