by Nikolai Porfiryevich Grekov (1810 - 1866)

Zvyozdochka
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Mnogo v nebe gorit
Yarkix zvezdochek,
Mnogo v pole czvetet
Pestry'x czvetikov,
No iz zvezdochek tex
Vsex privetlivej,
Chto kak blestochka
Tam zolotistaya.

Chto s vechernej zari
Vplot` do utrennej
Vse na meste odnom
Yarko teplitsya,
Ta, chto lyudi zovut
Serdcza zvezdochkoj,
Luchezarnoyu zdes`,
Bezzakatnoyu.

A iz czvetikov tex
Vsex bescennee
Serdczu mily'j czvetok –
Nezabudochka.
I ya glaz ne svozhu
S yarkoj zvezdochki,
S nej ya dumayu noch`
Dumu krepkuyu.

U menya, molodcza
Goremy'chnogo,
Takzhe zvezdochka zdes`
Est` zavetnaya,
To devicza-krasa
Nenaglyadnaya,
Nezabudka moya
Zadushevnaya.

Slovno temnaya noch`,
Kudri shelkovy',
Slovno med na ustax,
Rech` razumnaya,
Slovno para zhivy'x
Zvezd s siyaniem, -
Vzory' glaz goluby'x
S povolokoyu.

Ax, vo t`me li nochi
Il` pri solny'shke
Ix zhivy'e luchi
Zhgut, kak plamenem!
A v dushe k nej lyubov` –
Zmeya lyutaya,
Slovno zvezdochka ta
Bezzakatnaya.
