Nad temnym zalivom, vdol' zvuchnykh zybej
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Nad temnym zalivom, vdol' zvuchnykh zybej
         Venecii, morja caricy,
Plovec polunochnyj v gondole svojej
         S vechernej zari do dennicy
Rulem bezzabotnym nebrezhno sechet
         Lenivuju vlagu nochnuju;
Pojet on Rinal'da, Tankreda pojet,
         Pojet `Erminiju mladuju;
Pojet on po serdcu, sujet udalen,
         Chuzhogo suda ne strashitsja,
I pesnej ljubimoj nevol'no plenen,
         Nad bezdnoju veselo mchitsja.
I ja pet' ljublju pro sebja, v tishine,
         Bezvestnye pesni mechtaju,
Poju, i kak budto otradneje mne,
         Ja gore moje zabyvaju,
Kak veter ni gonit moj bednyj chelnok
         Puchinoju zhizni mjatezhnoj,
Gde ja tak unylo i tak odinok
         Skitajus' vo tme beznadezhnoj...
