Russian text

Улетай на крыльяхъ вҍтра
ты въ край родной, родная пѣсня наша,
туда, гдѣ мы тебя свободно пѣли,
гдѣ было такъ привольно намъ съ тобою.
Тамъ подъ зноинымъ небомъ,
нѣгой воздухъ полонъ,
тамъ подъ говоръ моря,
Дремлютъ горы въ облакахъ;

Тамъ такъ ярко солнце свѣтитъ,
родныя горы свѣтомъ заливая,
въ долинахъ пишно розы разцвѣтаютъ
и соловьи поютъ въ лѣсахъ зеленыхъ.
Тамъ роза цвѣтетъ
и сладкій виноградъ растетъ.
Тамъ тебѣ привольнѣй пѣсня,
ты туда и улетай.

Пойте пѣсни славы хану! Пой!
Славьте силу доблесть хана! Славь!
Славенъ Ханъ! Славенъ онъ Ханъ нашъ!
Блескомъ славы солнцу равенъ ханъ!
Нѣту равныхъ славой хану! Нѣтъ!

Чаги хана, славятъ хана своего.

Пойте пѣсни славы хану! Пой!
Славьте щедрость, славьте милость! Славь!
Для враговъ Ханъ! грозенъ онъ Ханъ нашъ!
Ктоже славой равенъ хану, кто?
Блескомъ славы солнцу равенъ онъ!

Славой дѣдамъ равенъ ханъ нашъ, ханъ Кончакъ,
Славой дѣдамъ равенъ онъ! грозный ханъ, ханъ Кончакъ.
Славенъ ханъ, ханъ Кончакъ!

Улетай на крыльяхъ вҍтра …
Въ край тотъ, гдѣ подъ знойнымъ небомъ, …

Тамъ такъ ярко солнце свѣтитъ,
родныя горы свѣтомъ озаряя,
въ долинахъ пышно роза разцвѣтаетъ
и соловьи поютъ въ лѣсахъ зеленыхъ.
Тамъ роза тамъ в садахъ цвѣтетъ
сладкій виноградъ растетъ.
Тамъ тебѣ привольнѣй пѣсня.
Ты туда и улетай.

Славой дѣдамъ равенъ ханъ нашъ, ханъ Кончакъ,
Славой дѣдамъ равенъ онъ! грозный ханъ, ханъ Кончакъ.
Славенъ ханъ, ханъ Кончакъ!

Пляской вашей тѣшьте хана,
Пляской тѣшьте хана чаги хана своего.
Пляской вашей тѣшьте хана,
Пляской тѣшьте нашъ ханъ Кончакъ!

Notes on the transliteration
This vocal score uses several symbols to represent aspects of the pronunciation that lack exact parallels in English. (NB the circled letters above refer to rehearsal marks in the score, for reference.)

Vowels
Cyrillic ы = IPA ɨ = Transliteration ï (Russian hard “i”)

Consonants
Cyrillic х = IPA x = Transliteration h or kh (as in Scottish “Loch Ness”; not guttural)

Palatised consonants
The palatisation is shown as a tilde (~) over the following vowel and represents a fleeting sound of y (IPA ʲ) blended with the consonant, e.g.
Cyrillic тебе = IPA tʲɛbʲɛ = Transliteration tẽbẽ

Other notes
Cyrillic с = IPA s = Transliteration s (unvoiced)
Cyrillic з = IPA z = Transliteration z (voiced)
Cyrillic ж = IPA ʒ = Transliteration zh (voiced, as in pleasure, not as in pressure)
