Translation

Skazhi, zachem
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the Russian (Русский) 
Skazhi, zachem javilas' ty
Moim ocham, mladaja Lila?
I vnov' zabytye cherty
V dushe zasnuvshej probudila?
Skazhi, zachem?

Nad strastiju mojej shutja,
Zachem s uma menja ty svodish'?
Kogda zh gljazhu ja na tebja,
Ty vzor s kholodnost'ju otvodish',
Skazhi, zachem?

Skazhi, zachem?.. Net, pogodi!
Khochu prodlit' ja zabluzhden'ja,
Udar zhestokij otvrati;
Progonish' ty moi muchen'ja, -
Skazhi, zachem…
