by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Ja pomnju čudnoe mgnoven'e
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ja pomnju čudnoe mgnoven'e: Peredo mnoj javilas' ty, Kak mimolëtnoe, viden'e, Kak genij čistoj krasoty. V [tomlen'jach]1 grusti beznadežnoj, V trevogach šumnoj suety, Zvučal mne dolgo golos nežnoj, I snilis' milye čerty. Šli gody. Bur' poryv mjatežnyj [Rassejal]2 prežnie mečty, I ja zabyl tvoj golos nežnyj, Tvoi nebesnye čerty. V gluši, vo mrake zatočen'ja Tjanulis' ticho dni moi; Bez Božestva, bez vdochnoven'ja, Bez slëz, bez žizni, bez ljubvi. Duše nastalo probušden'e: I vot opjat' javilas' ty, Kak mimolëtnoe viden'e, Kak genij čistoj krasoty. I serdce b'ëtsja v [upoen'e]3, I dlja nego voskresil vnov' I božestvo, i vdochnoven'e, I žizn', i slëzy, i ljubov'.
