Čërny oči, jasny oči
Language: Russian (Русский)
Čërny oči, jasny oči! Iz-pod sobolej resnic Vy tëmnej osennej noči, Jarče molnij i zarnic. Vy ogon', vy plamja strasti, Vy magičeskaja vlast', Vy ljubov', vy sladostrast'e, Vy blaženstvo, vy napast'. Vdrug zažgutsja, zapylajut, Zagoritsja strasti ad, Vdrug pomerknut, potuchajut I slezami zablestjat. No začem vy, čërny oči, Čudo, prelest' krasoty, Vdrug jasnej, čem zvezdy noči, To kak grustnyj sled mečty? Oči, oči, ne blestite Plamnem divnogo ognja, Vy ne iskrites', ne žgite, Vaš ogon' ne dlja menja! JA uznal, ach, černy oči, Kto v vas smotritsja tajkom I kogo v prochlade noči Žžete strastnym vy ognëm.
