Ty pomnish' li vecher, kak more shumelo, V shipovnike pel solovej, Dushistye vetki akacii beloj Kachalis' na shljape tvojej? Mezh kamnej, obrosshikh gustym vinogradom, Doroga byla tak uzka; V [molchan'e]1 nad morem my jekhali rjadom, [S rukoju skhodilas']2 ruka. Ty tak na sedle nagibalas' krasivo, Ty alyj shipovnik rvala, Bulanoj loshadki kosmatuju grivu S ljubov'ju ty im ubrala; Odezhdy tvojej neposlushnye skladki Cepljalis' za vetvi, a ty Bespechno smejalas' — cvety na loshadke, V rukakh i na shljape cvety! Ty pomnish' li rjov dozhdevogo potoka I penu i bryzgi krugom; I nam nashe gore kazalos' daljoko, I kak my zabyli o njom!
S. Rachmaninov sets stanzas 1-2, 5
