Пред испанкой благородной | Пред испанкой благородной

by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Pred ispankoj blagorodnoj

Language: Russian (Русский)

Pred ispankoj blagorodnoj 
dvoe ry'czarej stoyat.
Oba smelo i svobodno 
v ochi pryamo ej glyadyat.
Bleshut oba krasotoyu, 
oba serdcem goryachi,
oba moshhnoyu rukoyu 
operlisya na mechi.

Zhizni im ona dorozhe, 
i, kak slava, im mila;
No odin ej mil - kogo zhe 
deva serdcem izbrala?
,,Kto, reshi, lyubim toboyu?`` 
oba deve govoryat
I s nadezhdoj molodoyu 
v ochi pryamo ej glyadyat.
