> Ликуют западны пределы,  
> Предвидя щастие войны.

*Literal translation*

> The western borders rejoice,  
> Foreseeing the happiness of war.

> Европа ныне восхищенна  
> Внимая смотрит на восток,  
> И ожидает изумленна,  
> Какой определит ей рок

*Literal translation*

> Europe, now enraptured,  
> Looks eastward, listening,  
> And awaits, astonished,  
> What fate will be decreed for her
