by Aleksey Fyodorovich Merzlyakov (1778 - 1830)

Chernobrovy'j, chernoglazy'j
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Chernobrovy'j, chernoglazy'j
Molodecz udaly'j
Vlozhil my'sli v moyo serdce,
Zazheg retivoe!

Nel`zya solnczu by't` xolodny'm,
Svetlomu pogasnut`;
Nel`zya serdczu zhit` na svete
I ne zhit` lyubov`yu!

Dlya togo li solnce greet,
Chtoby' travke vyanut`?
Dlya togo li serdce lyubit,
Chtoby' gore my'kat`?

Net, ne dam zlodejke skuke
Retivogo serdcza!
Polechu k lyubeznu drugu
Osenneyu ptashkoj.

Pokazhu emu platochek,
Ego zhe podarok, -
Soschitaj goryuchi slyozy'
Na alom platochke,
Issushi goryuchi slyozy'
Na beloj ty' grudi,
Ili sladkimi ix sdelaj,
Smeshav so svoimi...

Voet sy'r-bor za goroyu,
Metelicza v pole;
Vstala v`yuga, nepogoda,
Zapala doroga.

Ostavajsya, bedna ptichka,
Zapertaya v kletke!
Ne otvorish` ty' slezami
Otecheskij terem;
Ne uvidish` dorogogo,
Ni prezhnego schast`ya!
Ne xodit` by' krasnoj devke
Vdol` po lugu-lugu;
Ne iskat` by'lo glazami
Prigozhix, udaly'x!

Ne lyubit` by' krasnoj devke
Molodogo parnya;
Poberech` by' krasnoj devke
Svoyo nezhno serdce!
