by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Ты помнишь ли вечер, как море шумело
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ты помнишь ли вечер, как море шумело,
  В шиповнике пел соловей,
Душистые ветки акации белой
  Качались на шляпе твоей?

Меж камней, обросших густым виноградом,
  Дорога была так узка;
В молчанье над морем мы ехали рядом,
  С рукою сходилась рука.

Ты так на седле нагибалась красиво,
  Ты алый шиповник рвала,
Буланой лошадки косматую гриву
  С любовью ты им убрала;

Одежды твоей непослушные складки
  Цеплялись за ветви, а ты
Беспечно смеялась — цветы на лошадке,
  В руках и на шляпе цветы!

Ты помнишь ли рёв дождевого потока
  И пену и брызги кругом;
И нам наше горе казалось далёко,
  И как мы забыли о нём!
