by Aleksandr Ivanovich Polezhayev (1804 - 1838)

Zachem zadumchivy'x ochej
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Zachem zadumchivy'x ochej
S menya, krasavicza, ne svodish`?
Zachem ognyom tvoix rechej
Tosku na dushu mne navodish`?
Ne pripadaj ko mne na grud`
V pory'vax milogo zabven`ya -
Ty' nichego v menya vdoxnut`
Ne mozhesh`, krome sozhalen`ya!
Menya ne v silax vospalit`
Tvoi goryachie lobzan`ya,
YA ne mogu tebya lyubit` -
Ne dlya menya ocharovan`ya!
YA by'l lyubim i sam lyubil -
Uvyal na lone sladostrast`ya,
I v xladnom serdce sxoronil
Minuty' gorestnogo schast`ya;
YA rano sorval zhizni czvet,
Vsyo poteryal, vsyo otdal Xloe, -
I prezhnix chuvsv, i prezhnix let
Ne vozvratit nichto zemnoe!
Eshhyo mne mily' krasota
I devy' plamenny'e vzory',
No serdce muchit pustota,
A sovest` - mrachny'e ukory'!
Lyubi drugogo - by't` tvoim
YA ne mogu, o drug moj mily'j!...
Ax, kak uzhasno by't` zhivy'm,
Polurazrushas` nad mogiloj!
