by Konstantin Konstantinovich Romanov, Grand Duke of Russia (1858 - 1915)

Ply'vi, moya gondola

Language: Russian (Русский)

Ply'vi, moya gondola,
‎  Ozarena lunoj,
Razdajsya, barkarola,
‎  Nad sonnoyu volnoj.

Nastroena gitara:
  ‎O, drug, ya v chest` tvoyu
Vsego zemnogo shara
‎  Vse pesni propoyu!

Smotri, uzh na P`yaczcette
  ‎Potusheny' ogni,
Pri yarkom lunnom svete
  ‎S toboyu my' odni.

Zamolkli serenady',
  ‎I stavni zaperty', —
Sredi nochnoj proxlady'
  ‎Ne spim lish` ya da ty'.

Do Lido ne daleko,
  ‎My' by'stro doply'vem;
Tam more tak shiroko
  ‎Raskinulos` krugom;

Tam mesyacz volny' lyubit:
  ‎Smotri, kak s vy'shiny'
Luchami on golubit
  ‎Morskie glubiny'.

Tam, v golubom prostore,
  ‎V lazorevoj dali
Zabudem my' i gore,
  ‎I bedstviya zemli.

Pust` zvuki poceluya
  ‎Podslushaet volna,
I, kak tebya lyublyu ya,
  ‎Pust` podglyadit luna!
