Na kholmakh Gruzii
Russian source:
Alexander Pushkin
Na kholmakh Gruzii lezhit nochnaja mgla,
Shumit Aragva predo mnoju.
Mne grustno i legko: pechal' moja svetla,
Pechal' moja polna toboju
Toboj, toboj odnoj. Unyn'ja mojego
Nichto ne muchit, ne trevozhit,
I serdce vnov' gorit i ljubit ottogo,
Chto ne ljubit' ono ne mozhet.
Shumit Aragva predo mnoju.

Toboj, toboj odnoj. Unyn'ja mojego
Nichto ne muchit, ne trevozhit,
I serdce vnov' gorit i ljubit ottogo,
Chto ne ljubit' ono ne mozhet.
