by Aleksey Vasil'yevich Kol'tsov (1808 - 1842)

Po‑nad Donom sad czvetyot
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Po-nad Donom sad czvetyot,
Vo sadu dorozhka;
Na neyo b ya vsyo glyadel,
Sidya, iz okoshka…

Tam s kuvshinom za vodoj
Masha proxodila,
Tomny'j vzor potupiv svoj,
So mnoj govorila.

«Masha, Masha! — molvil ya. —
Bud` moej sestroyu!
YA lyublyu… lyubim li ya,
Milaya, toboyu?»

Ne zaby't` mne nikogda,
Kak ona glyadela!
Kak s uly'bkoyu lyubvi
Veselo krasnela!

Ne zaby't` mne, kak ona
Sladko otvechala,
Iz kuvshina, v zaby't`i,
Vodu prolivala…

Splyu i vizhu vsyo eyo
Plat`e goluboe,
Strastny'j vzglyad, kosy' kol`czo,
Lentoj perevitoe.

Sladkij mig moj vozvratis`!
S Donom ya proshhayus`…
Ax, nigde uzh, nikogda
S nej ne povstrechayus`!..
