Chjorny ochi, jasny ochi
Language: Russian (Русский)
Chjorny ochi, jasny ochi! Iz-pod sobolej resnic Vy tjomnej osennej nochi, Jarche molnij i zarnic. Vy ogon', vy plamja strasti, Vy magicheskaja vlast', Vy ljubov', vy sladostrast'e, Vy blazhenstvo, vy napast'. Vdrug zazhgutsja, zapylajut, Zagoritsja strasti ad, Vdrug pomerknut, potukhajut I slezami zablestjat. No zachem vy, chjorny ochi, Chudo, prelest' krasoty, Vdrug jasnej, chem zvezdy nochi, To kak grustnyj sled mechty? Ochi, ochi, ne blestite Plamnem divnogo ognja, Vy ne iskrites', ne zhgite, Vash ogon' ne dlja menja! Ja uznal, akh, cherny ochi, Kto v vas smotritsja tajkom I kogo v prokhlade nochi Zhzhete strastnym vy ognjom.
