Kogda glyazhu, kak chisto i zerkal`no
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kogda glyazhu, kak chisto i zerkal`no
Tvoe chelo,
Kak yasen vzor, - mne grustno i pechal`no,
Mne tyazhelo.
Ty' znaesh` li, kak gluboko i svyato
Tebya lyublyu?
Ty' znaesh` li, chto otdal bez vozvrata
YA zhizn` svoyu?
Kogda umret pred xladnoj moln`ej vzora
Lyubvi mechta,
Ne progremit pravdivogo ukora
Moi usta,
No propoyu v poslednee proshhan`e
YA pesn` odnu;
V nej vsyu lyubov`, vse gore, vsyo stradan`e,
Vsyu zhizn` somknu.
I sly'sha pesn`, kakim ognem sogreta
I kak grustna,
Uznaet mir, chto v nej dusha poe`ta
Sxoronena.
