Boginya Ishtar

Ot strel i ot char,
Ot gnezd i ot nor,
Boginya Ishtar,
Khrani moy shater:

Brat'ev, sester.

Rudy moey var,
Vrazhdy moey chan,
Boginya Ishtar,
Khrani moy kolchan...

(Vzyal menya -- khan!)

Chtob ne zhil, kto star,
Chtob ne zhil, kto khvor,
Boginya Ishtar,
Khrani moy koster:

(Plamen' voster!)

Chtob ne zhil -- kto star,
Chtob ne zhil -- kto zol,
Boginya Ishtar,
Khrani moy kotel

(Zarev i smol!)

Chtob ne zhil -- kto star,
Chtob nezhil -- kto yun!
Boginya Ishtar,
Stremi moy tabun
V tridevyat' lun!
