by Dmitri Timofeyevich Lensky (1805 - 1860)

Ona i zhizn`
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kak ty' mila i kak prostoserdechna,
Prekrasnoe v vos`mnadczat` let ditya!
My' zdes` grustim, a ty' vsegda bespechna;
Na vse glyadish` s uly'bkoj i shutya.

Ne znaesh` ty', prelestnoe sozdan`e,
Kak zdes` gryazna doroga by'tiya!
No probudis` v grudi tvoej zhelan`e, -
Uznaesh` vsyo, bespechnee ditya!
