Mne zhal` tebya
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Mne zhal` tebya! Ty' iskrenno tak lyubish`,
I laski zhdesh` ty' ot menya!
No, bedny'j drug, sebya ty' e`tim gubish`,
YA ne mogu lyubit` tebya!

By'la pora, kogda i ya lyubila,
Kipelo serdce zhizn`yu molodoj;
No tucha chernaya moj gorizont zatmila,
I ne blestit luch solncza nado mnoj!

Ot gorestej i grozny'x bur` serdechny'x
Ne ta teper` ya, chto by'la.
I ot stradanij e`tix beskonechny'x
Ustala ya, iznemogla.

Vzglyani! Chelo pechaliyu povito,
Ne svetitsya ogon` v moix glazax,
A serdce bednoe isterzano, razbito,
Davno, davno rastayalo v slezax!

Beschuvstvenno na vsyo teper` glyazhu ya,
V stradan`yax vyanu ya s toski,
I xolodny' usta dlya poceluya,
I xoloden privet ruki.

No esli by' tebya ya znala prezhde,
To polyubit` mogla b tebya i ya…
Teper` odno skazhu: ostav` svoi nadezhdy',
Mne zhal` tebya, mne, pravo, zhal` tebya!
