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!
