by Fyodor Alekseyevich Koni (1809 - 1879)

Gondol'er molodoj! Vzor moj polon ognja!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Gondol'er molodoj! Vzor moj polon ognja!
Ja strojna, moloda, - ty svezesh' li menja?
Ja v Rial'to speshu do zakata!
Vidish' pojas ty moj, s zhemchugom, s birjuzoj,
A v sredine jego izumrud dorogoj?
Vot tebe za provoz moja plata!

Net, ne nuzhen on mne, tvoj zhemchuzhnyj ubor;
Jarche kamnej i zvezd tvoj blistajushchij vzor!
No v Rial'to s toboj ne plyvu ja!
Gondol'er molodoj ot sin'or molodykh
Ne beret za provoz pojasov dorogikh:
Zhazhdet on odnogo poceluja!

Akh, pora! Na volnakh luch poslednij ugas!
A mne sroku dano na odin tol'ko chas!
Gondol'er, podavaj mne gondolu!
Pomoljus' za tebja ja nochnym nebesam,
Celovat' ja tebe ruku beluju dam!
A vdobavok spoju barkarolu!

Znaju ja, golos tvoj zvuchnoj flejty zvuchnej!
Znaju ja, chto ruka morskoj peny belej!
No v Rial'to s toboj ne plyvu ja!
Sam mogu ja zapet': mne ne nuzhno oktav,
Mne ne nuzhno ruki, khladnykh serdca otrav,
Odnogo zhazhdu ja poceluja!
