by Vladislav Nikolayevich Gorchakov (1822 - c1853)
O molchi, milyj drug moj, molchi!
Language: Russian (Русский)
O molchi, milyj drug moj, molchi! Nikomu nikogda ni polslova! Tol'ko mne ty o strasti shepchi V tikhij chas sred' nochnogo pokrova. Ne pojmet tebja strannyj nash svet, Chistoj strasti tvojej ne ocenit. Ver', ni v kom zdes' uchastija net! Dazhe luchshij nash drug nam izmenit. Ver'! Oni zhe tebja osmejut, Da oni zhe tebja i pogubjat! Za ljubov' klevetoj vozdadut, Ved' ne tak, kak my, ljudi zdes' ljubjat. I uzhasen tot budet urok! S ust ischeznet naveki ulybka. Otkrovennost' ne tol'ko porok, Otkrovennost' bol'shaja oshibka.
