by Pierre Jean de Béranger (1780 - 1857)
Translation by P. Chebyshev

Zabudesh` gore, ‑ poj!
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the French (Français) 
I mal, i xil, i beden  
YA broshen na zemli; 
V tolpe zary'ty'j, prezren  
I Bogom, i lyud`mi. 
V grudi tesnilos` peni, 
Na melkij zhrebij moj… 
«Poj, poj, - shenul mne genij, - 
Zabudesh` gore, - poj!» 

V menya metali gryaz`yu  
S blestyashhix kolesnicz; 
Nasmeshlivoj priyazn`yu  
S naduty'x barskix licz; 
Obid i pritesnenij   
Zadavlen by'l goroj… 
«Poj, poj, - shepnul mne genij, -  
Zabudesh` gore, - poj!» 

V pechal`nuyu obitel`, 
Gde sty'la v grusti krov`, 
Kak angel-uteshitel`,
Prishla ko mne lyubov` 
V vostorge upoenij… 
No ya - starik sedoj. 
«Poj, poj, - shepnul mne genij, -  
Zabudesh` starost`, - poj!» 

Ni slavy', ni nagrady' 
Za pesnej ne ishhi; 
Poj prosto dlya otrady'  
Rastrogannoj dushi. 
Kto chashi vdoxnovenij  
Kosnulsya xot` rukoj, 
 Tomu vek shepchet genij: 
«Poj, vsyo zabudesh`, - poj!»
