Chyorny' ochi, yasny' ochi
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Chyorny' ochi, yasny' ochi!
Iz-pod sobolej resnicz
Vy' tyomnej osennej nochi,
Yarche molnij i zarnicz.

Vy' ogon`, vy' plamya strasti,
Vy' magicheskaya vlast`,
Vy' lyubov`, vy' sladostrast`e,
Vy' blazhenstvo, vy' napast`.

Vdrug zazhgutsya, zapy'layut,
Zagoritsya strasti ad,
Vdrug pomerknut, potuxayut
I slezami zablestyat.

No zachem vy', chyorny' ochi,
Chudo, prelest` krasoty',
Vdrug yasnej, chem zvezdy' nochi,
To kak grustny'j sled mechty'?

Ochi, ochi, ne blestite
Plamnem divnogo ognya,
Vy' ne iskrites`, ne zhgite,
Vash ogon` ne dlya menya!

YA uznal, ax, cherny' ochi,
Kto v vas smotritsya tajkom
I kogo v proxlade nochi
Zhzhete strastny'm vy' ognyom.
