Zabudesh' gore, ‑ poj!
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the French (Français)
I mal, i khil, i beden Ja broshen na zemli; V tolpe zarytyj, prezren I Bogom, i ljud'mi. V grudi tesnilos' peni, Na melkij zhrebij moj… «Poj, poj, - shenul mne genij, - Zabudesh' gore, - poj!» V menja metali grjaz'ju S blestjashchikh kolesnic; Nasmeshlivoj prijazn'ju S nadutykh barskikh lic; Obid i pritesnenij Zadavlen byl goroj… «Poj, poj, - shepnul mne genij, - Zabudesh' gore, - poj!» V pechal'nuju obitel', Gde styla v grusti krov', Kak angel-uteshitel', Prishla ko mne ljubov' V vostorge upojenij… No ja - starik sedoj. «Poj, poj, - shepnul mne genij, - Zabudesh' starost', - poj!» Ni slavy, ni nagrady Za pesnej ne ishchi; Poj prosto dlja otrady Rastrogannoj dushi. Kto chashi vdokhnovenij Kosnulsja khot' rukoj, Tomu vek shepchet genij: «Poj, vsjo zabudesh', - poj!»
