by Bryan Waller Procter (1787 - 1874), as Barry Cornwall
Translation by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Мери
 (Sung text for setting by M. Glinka)
 See original
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the English 
Пью за здравие Мери,
Милой Мери моей.
Тихо запер я двери
И один, без гостей
Пью за здравие Мери.

Краше можно быть Мери,
Краше Мери моей,
Этой маленькой пери;
Но нельзя быт милей
Резвой, ласковой Мери.

Будь же счастлива, Мери,
Солнце жизни моей!
Ни тоски, ни потери,
Ни ненастливых дней
Пусть не ведает Мери.
