by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Кубок янтарный
 (Sung text for setting by A. Dyubyuk)
 See original
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Кубок янтарный
Полон давно,
Пеною парной
Блещет вино.
Света дороже
Сердцу оно;
Но за кого же
Выпью вино?

Пейте за славу
Славы друзья,
Браней забавы
Любит не я
Это веселье
Не веселит,
Дружбы похмелье
Грома бежит.

 ... 

Пейте за радость
Юной любви —
Скроется младость,
Дети мои...
Кубок янтарный
Полон давно.
Я — благодарный —
Пью за вино.

Note: published without Pushkin's knowledge in B. M. Fedorov's Pamjatnik otechestvennykh muz na 1827 god (Monument to the Russian Muses for the year of 1827).
