Cyganskaja pesnja
Language: Russian (Русский)
«Ja vnov' pred toboju
stoju ocharovan...»
O, poj, moja milaja, poj, ne smolkaja,
Ljubimuju pesnju moju
O tom, kak, trevozhno toj pesne vnimaja,
Ja vnov' pred toboju stoju!
Ta pesnja napomnit mne vremja byloje,
Kotorym dusha tak polna,
I strakh, chto shchemit moje serdce bol'noje,
Byt' mozhet, rassejet ona.
Bojus' ja, chto golos moj, skorbnyj i nezhnyj,
Tebja svojej strast'ju smutit,
Bojus', chto ot zhizni mojej beznadezhnoj
Ulybka tvoja otletit.
Mne zhizn' bez tebja slovno polnoch' glukhaja
V chuzhom i bezvestnom kraju...
O, poj, moja milaja, poj, ne smolkaja,
Ljubimuju pesnju moju!
