by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Ėlegija
Language: Russian (Русский)
Bezumnych let ugasšee vesel'e Mne tjaželo, kak smutnoe pochmel'e. No, kak vino — pečal' minuvšich dnej V moej duše čem stare, tem sil'nej. Moj put' unyl. Sulit mne trud i gore Grjaduščego volnuemoe more. No ne choču, o drugi, umirat'; JA žit' choču, čtob myslit' i stradat'; I vedaju, mne budut naslažden'ja Mež gorestej, zabot i trevolnen'ja: Poroj opjat' garmoniej up'jus', Nad vymyslom slezami obol'jus', I možet byt' — na moj zakat pečal'nyj Blesnet ljubov' ulybkoju proščal'noj.
