Текст песни Иосиф Геништа - Черкесская песня op. posth.

An explosive shaft runs in the river;
In the mountains, silence is night;
The tired Cossack dozed off,
Leaning towards the steel spear.
Do not sleep, Cossack: in the darkness of the night
A Chechen walks across the river.

The Cossack is sailing on a canoe,
Weaving along the bottom of the river network.
Cossack, you will drown in the river,
How little children drown
Swimming in the hot at times:
A Chechen walks across the river.

On the shore of the cherished waters
The rich villages are blooming;
A merry round dance.
Run, Russian singers,
Hurry, reds, home:
A Chechen walks across the river.

Tenor - Georgy Vinogradov, piano - Georg Orentlicher.
