by Aleksandr Ivanovich Polezhayev (1804 - 1838)

Zachem zadumchivykh ochej
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Zachem zadumchivykh ochej
S menja, krasavica, ne svodish'?
Zachem ognjom tvoikh rechej
Tosku na dushu mne navodish'?
Ne pripadaj ko mne na grud'
V poryvakh milogo zabven'ja -
Ty nichego v menja vdokhnut'
Ne mozhesh', krome sozhalen'ja!
Menja ne v silakh vospalit'
Tvoi gorjachije lobzan'ja,
Ja ne mogu tebja ljubit' -
Ne dlja menja ocharovan'ja!
Ja byl ljubim i sam ljubil -
Uvjal na lone sladostrast'ja,
I v khladnom serdce skhoronil
Minuty gorestnogo schast'ja;
Ja rano sorval zhizni cvet,
Vsjo poterjal, vsjo otdal Khloje, -
I prezhnikh chuvsv, i prezhnikh let
Ne vozvratit nichto zemnoje!
Jeshchjo mne mily krasota
I devy plamennye vzory,
No serdce muchit pustota,
A sovest' - mrachnye ukory!
Ljubi drugogo - byt' tvoim
Ja ne mogu, o drug moj milyj!...
Akh, kak uzhasno byt' zhivym,
Polurazrushas' nad mogiloj!
