by Yakov Petrovich Polonsky (1819 - 1898)

Gadanie
Language: Russian (Русский) 
«Pogadaj-ka mne, starushka,
YA davno tebya zhdala!»
Chernobrovaya, v loxmot`yax,
K nej cy'ganka podoshla.
«Ya skazhu tebe vsyu pravdu,
Daj na ruchku mne vzglyanut`:
Beregis`, tebya tvoj mily'j
Zamy'shlyaet obmanut`…»

A ona v sosednem pole
Sorvala sebe czvetok,
I lepechet, obry'vaya
Kazhdy'j bely'j lepestok:
«Lyubit – net, ne lyubit, lyubit».
I, oborvanny'j krugom,
«Da!» - skazal czvetok ej temny'm,
Serdczu vnyatny'm yazy'kom.

Na ustax ee - uly'bka,
V serdce - slezy' i groza.
S upoeniem i grust`yu
On glyadit v ee glaza.
Govorit ona: «Obman tvoj
YA predvizhu - i ne lgu,
Chto tebya voznenavidet`
I xochu, no ne mogu».

On glyadit vse tak zhe grustno,
No liczo ego gorit...
On, k plechu ee ustami
Pripadaya, govorit:
«Beregis` menya! YA znayu,
Chto tebya ya pogublyu,
Ottogo, chto ya bezumno,
Goryacho tebya lyublyu!»
