Daj tol'ko solncu za goru zajti, k tebe ja skoro vyjdu! Tjomnoj noch'ju ty podojdjosh' ko mne, podobna utrennej zare, krasiva, kak jevetok, jedva rascvetshij, i ruku nezhnuju, gorjachuju ot strasti i ljubvi k tebe, ja ruku polozhu na grud' tvoju. Drug k drugu my prizhmjomsja; ljozha, celovat'sja budem, ruki podlozhiv pod golovy vzamen podushek; bjodra sblizim. O, kak ljublju ja, kak ljublju tebja ja strastno, nezhno, moja radost'. Daj tol'ko solncu za goru zajti, k tebe ja vyjdu.
