by Aleksei Nikolayevich Apukhtin (1841 - 1893)

О, скажи ей, чтоб страсть роковую мою
Language: Russian (Русский) 
О, скажи ей, чтоб страсть роковую мою 
  Позабыла, простила она, 
Что для ней я живу, и дышу, и пою, 
  Что вся жизнь моя ей отдана!

Что унять не могу я мятежную кровь, 
  Что над этою страстью больной 
Засияла иная, - святая любовь, 
  Так, как небо блестит над землей! 

О, сходите ко мне, вдохновенья лучи, 
  Зажигайтеся ярче, теплей, 
Задушевная песня, скорей прозвучи, 
  Прозвучи для неё и о ней.
