by Nikolai Filippovich Pavlov (1803 - 1864)

Naduty' gubki dlya ugrozy'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Naduty' gubki dlya ugrozy',
A shepchut nezhny'e slova.
Skazhi, otkuda e`ti slyozy' -
Ty' tak ne plakala sperva.

YA pomnyu vremya: blesnut, by'valo,
Dve-tri slyozy' iz bojkix glaz,
No gorem ty' togda igrala,
Togda ty' plakala, smeyas`.

YA ponyal tvoj nedug opasny'j;
Uyazvlena tvoya dusha.
Tak plach` zhe, plach`, moj drug prekrasny'j,
V slezax ty' chudno xorosha.
