by Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev (1803 - 1873)

Iz kraja v kraj, iz grada v grad
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Iz kraja v kraj, iz grada v grad
Sud'ba, kak vikhr', ljudej metjot, 
I rad li ty ili ne rad, 
Chto nuzhdy jej?.. Vperjod, vperjod!

Znakomyj zvuk nam vetr prinjos:
Ljubvi posledneje prosti...
Za nami mnogo, mnogo sljoz, 
Tuman, bezvestnost' vperedi!..

«O, ogljanisja, o, postoj, 
Kuda bezhat', zachem bezhat'?..
Ljubov' ostalas' za toboj, 
Gde zh v mire luchshego syskat'?

Ljubov' ostalas' za toboj, 
V slezakh, s otchajan'em v grudi...
O, szhal'sja nad svojej toskoj, 
Svojo blazhenstvo poshchadi!

Blazhenstvo stol'kikh, stol'kikh dnej
Sebe na pamjat' privedi...
Vse miloje dushe tvojej
Ty pokidajesh' na puti!...»

Ne vremja vyklikat' tenej:
I tak uzh `etot mrachen chas.
Usopshikh obraz tem strashnej, 
Chem v zhizni byl milej dlja nas.

Iz kraja v kraj, iz grada v grad
Moguchij vikhr' ljudej metjot, 
I rad li ty ili ne rad, 
Ne sprosit on... Vperjod, vperjod!
