by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Uvy, začem ona blistaet
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Uvy, začem ona blistaet
Minutnoj, nežnoj krasotoj?
Ona primetno uvjadaet
Vo cvete junosti živoj...
Uvjanet!

Žizn'ju molodoju
Nedolgo naslaždat'sja ej;
Nedolgo radovat' soboju
Sčastlivyj krug sem'i svoej.
Uvjanet!

Bespečnoj, miloj ostrotoju
Besedy naši oživljat'
I tichoj, jasnoju dušoju
Stradal'ca dušu uslaždat'.

Spešu v volnen'i dum tjaželych,
Sokryv unynie moë,
Naslušat'sja rečej veselych
I nagljadet'sja na neë.

Smotrju na vsë eë dvižen'ja,
Vnimaju každyj zvuk rečej,
I mig edinyj razlučen'ja
Užasen dlja duši moej.
