by Aleksey Fyodorovich Merzlyakov (1778 - 1830)

Chernobrovyj, chernoglazyj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Chernobrovyj, chernoglazyj
Molodec udalyj
Vlozhil mysli v mojo serdce,
Zazheg retivoje!

Nel'zja solncu byt' kholodnym,
Svetlomu pogasnut';
Nel'zja serdcu zhit' na svete
I ne zhit' ljubov'ju!

Dlja togo li solnce grejet,
Chtoby travke vjanut'?
Dlja togo li serdce ljubit,
Chtoby gore mykat'?

Net, ne dam zlodejke skuke
Retivogo serdca!
Polechu k ljubeznu drugu
Osenneju ptashkoj.

Pokazhu jemu platochek,
Jego zhe podarok, -
Soschitaj gorjuchi sljozy
Na alom platochke,
Issushi gorjuchi sljozy
Na beloj ty grudi,
Ili sladkimi ikh sdelaj,
Smeshav so svoimi...

Vojet syr-bor za goroju,
Metelica v pole;
Vstala v'juga, nepogoda,
Zapala doroga.

Ostavajsja, bedna ptichka,
Zapertaja v kletke!
Ne otvorish' ty slezami
Otecheskij terem;
Ne uvidish' dorogogo,
Ni prezhnego schast'ja!
Ne khodit' by krasnoj devke
Vdol' po lugu-lugu;
Ne iskat' bylo glazami
Prigozhikh, udalykh!

Ne ljubit' by krasnoj devke
Molodogo parnja;
Poberech' by krasnoj devke
Svojo nezhno serdce!
