by Sergey Mikhailovich Lyubetsky (1809 - 1881)

Otvernites`, ne glyadite
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Otvernites`, ne glyadite
Tak umil`no na menya, 
Il` zakrojtes`, ne svetites`
Vspy'shkoj rozovogo dnya!

Ognevy'e, goluby'e, 
Kak lazur`, kak biryuza, 
Negi polny'e, zhivy'e, 
Iskrometny'e glaza!

Chto vy' smotrite tak milo, 
O lyubvi ne govorya?
I usta vlechete siloj, 
Sami strast`yu ne gorya?

Ognevy'e, goluby'e, 
Kak lazur`, kak biryuza, 
Negi polny'e, zhivy'e, 
Iskrometny'e glaza!

Pozaby't` vas nevozmozhno, 
A poverit` vam - beda!
O, kogda by' by'lo mozhno
Ne vstrechat` vas nikogda!

Ognevy'e, goluby'e, 
Kak lazur`, kak biryuza, 
Negi polny'e, zhivy'e,
Iskrometny'e glaza!
