by Daniil Maximovich Rathaus (1868 - 1937)

Otblesk dalekoj zari
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Otblesk dalekoj zari,
Blednoe nochi merczan`e.
Milaya! ne govori:
Mne tak otradno molchan`e!

Tyagost` nesnosny'x verig,
Xolod toski i somnen`ya
Daj pozaby't` mne na mig -
Mne tak otradno zabven`e!

Tol`ko lish` molvish` ty' mne
Slovo, edinoe slovo,
Serdce zastonet v ogne,
V mukax bessonny'x by'logo.

Daj mne na pozaby't`
Zhizni gnetushhee bremya,
Daj mne mgnoven`e ne by't`,
Daj mne nirvanu na vremya!
