by Anna Andreyevna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)

Ty' vsegda tainstvenny'j i novy'j
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  FRE
Ty' vsegda tainstvenny'j i novy'j.
YA tebe poslushnej s kazhdy'm dnem,
No lyubov` tvoya, o drug surovy'j,
Ispy'tanie zhelezom i ognem.

Zapreshhaesh` pet` i uly'bat`sya,
A molit`sya zapretil davno.
Tol`ko b mne s toboyu ne rasstat`sya
Ostal`noe vsyo ravno!

Tak, zemle i nebesam chuzhaya,
YA zhivu i bol`she ne poyu,
Slovno ty' u ada i u raya
Otnyal dushu vol`nuyu moyu.
