by Aleksei Nikolayevich Apukhtin (1841 - 1893)

O, bud` moej zvezdoj, siyaj mne tixim...
Language: Russian (Русский) 
O, bud` moej zvezdoj, siyaj mne tixim svetom,
Kak e`ta chistaya, dalyokaya zvezda!
Na zemlyu tyomnuyu ona glyadit s privetom,
Chuzhda eyo strastyam, svobodna i gorda.

I tol`ko inogda, usly'sha v otdalen`e
Lyubvi bezumny'j ston, otchayanny'j prizy'v,
Ona vzdrognyot sama — i v zhalosti, v smyaten`e
Na zemlyu padaet, o nebe pozaby'v!
