Here for example you can find several songs with their translation but I am
not sure one can sing the translation. They suppose the reader sings the
original Russian text written using Latin characters.

And not all songs there are really Russian. For instance, "Evening bells" was
translated from English, "Suliko" is a Georgian song and "Tum Balalaika" is in
Jiddish, not in Russian.

Here is one more link:

I do not think the quality of translation is good, sorry.

Michael
