Bat'ka Makhno

Bat'ka Makhno smotrit v okno,
Na dvore temnym-temno.
Na postu stoit monakh,
Ele-ele na nogakh...

Spit monastyr', dremlet selo,
Moshki b'iutsia o steklo..
Zviozdy svetiat i luna,
A v okruge tishina...

Miortvye s kosami vdol' dorog stoiat -
Delo ruk krasnykh d'iavoliat!
Miortvye s kosami sbrosili tsaria,
Zanimalas' alaia,
Zanimalas' alaia,
Zanimalas' alaia, ehkh

Zaria, zaria, zaria,
Alaia zaria...

Videli ikh, istinnyj krest,
Vsia gubernia, ves' uezd.
Proskakali skvoz' tuman -
Chto ne vesel, ataman?

V pole guliaj, plamia, pylaj!
Revol'ver, davaj, streliaj!
Liubo, liubo, brattsy, zhit',
Ne prikhoditsia tuzhit'...
