O, Bože, kak choroš prochladnyj večer leta
Language: Russian (Русский)
O, Bože, kak choroš prochladnyj večer leta,
Kakaja tišina!
Vsju noč' ja prosidet' gotov by do rassveta
U ėtogo okna.
Kakoj-to temnyj lik mel'kaet po allee,
I vozduch nedvižim,
I kažetsja, čto tam ešče, ešče temnee
Za sadom molodym.
Už pozdno... Vse sil'nej cvetov blagouchan'e,
Sejčas vzojdet luna...
Na nebesach pokoj, i na zemle molčan'e,
I vsjudu tišina.
Davno li v ėtot sad v čudesnyj večer maja
Vchodili my vdvoem?
O, skol'ko, skol'ko raz ego my, ne smolkaja,
Byvalo, obojdem!
I vot ja zdes' odin, s izmučennoj, ustaloj,
Razbitoju dušoj.
Mne chočetsja rydat', pripavši, kak byvalo,
K grudi tvoej rodnoj...
JA ždu... no ne slychat' znakomogo priveta,
Duša bolit odna...
O, Bože, kak choroš prochladnyj večer leta,
Kakaja tišina!
