by Nikolai Filippovich Pavlov (1803 - 1864)

Naduty gubki dlja ugrozy
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Naduty gubki dlja ugrozy,
A šepčut nežnye slova.
Skaži, otkuda ėti slëzy -
Ty tak ne plakala sperva.

JA pomnju vremja: blesnut, byvalo,
Dve-tri slëzy iz bojkich glaz,
No gorem ty togda igrala,
Togda ty plakala, smejas'.

JA ponjal tvoj nedug opasnyj;
Ujazvlena tvoja duša.
Tak plač' že, plač', moj drug prekrasnyj,
V slezach ty čudno choroša.
