by Konstantin Mikhailovich Fofanov (1862 - 1911)

Na tjomnom nebe zvezdy nochi
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Na tjomnom nebe zvezdy nochi,
Kak slezy rajskije, drozhat;
Moi zaplakannye ochi
Na nikh vnimatel'no gljadjat.

Ikh perelivnoje mercan'e,
Ikh bezmjatezhnye ogni
Opjat' napomnili mne dni
Ljubvi i grez, i upovan'ja.

I mnitsja - gody protekut,
Oni sijat' vsjo tak zhe budut;
Drugije gimny im spojut,
A my projdem, i nas zabudut.

I znaju ja, chto im nikto
Poslat' prokljat'ja ne posmejet
Za to, chto vechny, i za to,
Chto jarkij plamen' ikh ne grejet.
