Smolkni, ptashka‑kanarejka
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Smolkni, ptashka-kanarejka!
Polno zvonko raspevat`,
Perestan` ty' mne, zlodejka,
Retivoe nadry'vat`!

Uzh ko mne ne vorotit`sya
Krasny'm dnyam vesny' moej!..
Otvy'kaet serdce bit`sya,
Vspominayuchi o nej!

Radost`-mladost` minovalas`,
Otczvela ona czvetkom,
I ne vixorem promchalas`,
Proporxnula moty'l`kom!..

S neyu pamyat` o by'valom
YA xotel poxoronit`,
Ne grustit` o nem nimalo,
Ni slezy' ne uronit`!

Vse davno zaby'to by'lo;
Zvonkoj pesenkoj svoej
Vse ty' snova razbudila,
Ptashka, lyuty'j moj zlodej!

Posle vedry'shka k nenast`yu
Tyazhelen`ko privy'kat`,
A neschastnomu ob schast`e
Xuzhe smerti vspominat`!...
