1.
Ochi chornyye, ochi strastnyye
Ochi zhguchiye i prekrasnyye
Kak lyublyu ya vas, kak boyus' ya vas
Znat' uvidel vas ya v nedobryi chas
2.
Okh nedarom vy glubiny temnei
Vizhu traur v vas po dushe moyei
Vizhu plamya v vas ya pobednoye
Sozhzheno na nyom serdtse bednoye
3.
No ne grusten ya, ne pechalen ya
Uteshitel'na mne sud'ba moya
Vsyo chto luchshevo v zhizni Bog dal nam
V zhertvu otdal ya ognevym glazam!
