by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Vchera za chashej punshevoju
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vchera za chashej punshevoju
S gusarom ja sidel,
I molcha smrachnoju dushoju
Na dal'nij put' gljadel.

«Skazhi, chto smotrish' na dorogy?»
Moj khrabryj voprosil.
«Jeshchjo po nej ty, slava bogu,
Druzej ne provodil.»

K grudi priniknuv golovoju,
Ja skoro [prosvistal]1:
«Gusar! uzh net jejo so mnoju!»
Vzdokhnul - i zamolchal.

Sleza povisla na resnice
I [kanula]2 v bokal.
«Ditja, ty plachesh' o device,
Stydis'!» - on [zakrichal]3.

«Ostav', gusar! - [Okh]4, serdcu bol'no -
[Ty, znat', ne goreval.]5
Uvy! odnoj slezy dovol'no,
Chtob otravit' bokal!»
