by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

Peterburgskaja pesenka
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Chožu, brožu ponuryj,
Odin v svoej nore.
Pridët šarmanščik chmuryj,
Zaplačet na dvore.

O toj svobodnoj dole,
Čto mne ne suždena,
O tom, čto veter v pole
I na dvore vesna.

A mne kakoe delo?
Brožu odin, zabyt.
I svečka dogorela,
I majatnik stučit.

Odna, odna nadežda
Von tam, v eë okne.
Svetla eë odežda,
Ona pridët ko mne.

Lico moë belee,
Čem belaja stena...
Opjat', opjat' srobeju,
Kogda pridët ona...

Začem ona prichodit
So mnoju govorit'?
Začem v iglu provodit
Vesëlen'kuju nit'?

Začem ona ronjaet
Vesëlye slova?
Začem lico sklonjaet
I prjačet v kruževa?

Ved' nečego bojat'sja,
I nečego terjat'...
No nado li skazat'sja?
No možno li skazat'?

I čto ej molvit' -- nežnoj?
Čto serdce rascvelo?
Čto veter veet snežnyj?
Čto v komnate svetlo?
