by Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev (1803 - 1873)

Iz kraya v kraj, iz grada v grad
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Iz kraya v kraj, iz grada v grad
Sud`ba, kak vixr`, lyudej metyot, 
I rad li ty' ili ne rad, 
Chto nuzhdy' ej?.. Vperyod, vperyod!

Znakomy'j zvuk nam vetr prinyos:
Lyubvi poslednee prosti...
Za nami mnogo, mnogo slyoz, 
Tuman, bezvestnost` vperedi!..

«O, oglyanisya, o, postoj, 
Kuda bezhat`, zachem bezhat`?..
Lyubov` ostalas` za toboj, 
Gde zh v mire luchshego sy'skat`?

Lyubov` ostalas` za toboj, 
V slezax, s otchayan`em v grudi...
O, szhal`sya nad svoej toskoj, 
Svoyo blazhenstvo poshhadi!

Blazhenstvo stol`kix, stol`kix dnej
Sebe na pamyat` privedi...
Vse miloe dushe tvoej
Ty' pokidaesh` na puti!...»

Ne vremya vy'klikat` tenej:
I tak uzh e`tot mrachen chas.
Usopshix obraz tem strashnej, 
Chem v zhizni by'l milej dlya nas.

Iz kraya v kraj, iz grada v grad
Moguchij vixr` lyudej metyot, 
I rad li ty' ili ne rad, 
Ne sprosit on... Vperyod, vperyod!
