by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Lyubil i ya v by'ly'e gody'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Lyubil i ya v by'ly'e gody',
V nevinnosti dushi moej,
I buri shumny'e prirody',
I buri tajny'e strastej.

No krasoty' ix bezobraznoj
YA skoro tainstvo postig,
I mne naskuchil ix nesvyazny'j
I oglushayushhij yazy'k.

Lyublyu ya bol`she god ot godu,
Zhelan`yam mirny'm dav prostor,
Poutru yasnuyu pogodu,
Pod vecher tixij razgovor,

Lyublyu ya paradoksy' vashi,
I xa-xa-xa, i xi-xi-xi,
Smirnovoj shtuchku, farsu Sashi
I Ishki Myatleva stixi...
