by Nikolai Alekseyevich Nekrasov (1821 - 1877)

Ya za to gluboko prezirayu sebya
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ya za to gluboko prezirayu sebya,
Chto zhivu - den` za dnem bespolezno gubya;

Chto ya, sily' svoej ne py'tav ni na chem,
Osudil sam sebya besposhhadny'm sudom,

I, lenivo tverdya: ya nichtozhen, ya slab!
Dobrovol`no vsyu zhizn` presmy'kalsya kak rab;

Chto, dozhivshi koj-kak do tridczatoj vesny',
Ne skopil ya sebe xot` bogatoj kazny',

Chtob glupcy' u moix presmy'kalisya nog,
Da i umnik podchas pozavidovat` mog!

YA za to gluboko prezirayu sebya,
Chto potratil svoj vek, nikogo ne lyubya,

Chto lyubit` ya xochu... chto lyublyu ya ves` mir,
A brozhu dikarem - bespriyuten i sir,

I chto zloba vo mne i sil`na, i dika,
[A xvatayus` za nozh]1 - zamiraet ruka!
