by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Translation

Ariya Zaremy'
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the Russian (Русский) 
«Szhal`sya nado mnoj,
Ne otvergaj moix molenij!..»

Spasi menya; spasi menya...
Odna nadezhda mne ostalas`...
YA dolgo schast`em naslazhdalas`,
By'la bespechnej den` ot dnya...
I ten` blazhenstva minovalas`;
YA gibnu. Vy'slushaj menya.
Rodilas` ya ne zdes`, daleko,
Daleko... no minuvshix dnej
Predmety' v pamyati moej
Dony'ne vrezany' gluboko.
YA pomnyu gory' v nebesax,
Potoki zharkie v gorax,
Neproxodimy'e dubravy',
Drugoj zakon, drugie nravy';
No pochemu, kakoj sud`boj
YA kraj ostavila rodnoj,
Ne znayu; Strax i gore
Dony'ne chuzhdy' by'li mne;
YA v bezmyatezhnoj tishine
V teni garema rasczvetala
I pervy'x opy'tov lyubvi
Poslushny'm serdcem ozhidala.
Zhelan`ya tajny'e moi
Sby'lis`. Girej dlya mirnoj negi
Vojnu krovavuyu prezrel,
Presek uzhasny'e nabegi
I svoj garem opyat` uzrel.
Pred xana v smutnom ozhidan`e
Predstali my'. On svetly'j vzor
Ostanovil na mne v molchan`e,
Pozval menya... i s e`tix por
My' v besprery'vnom upoen`e
Dy'shali schast`em; i ni raz
Ni kleveta, ni podozren`e,
Ni zlobnoj revnosti muchen`e,
Ni skuka ne smushhala nas.
Mariya! ty' pred nim yavilas`...
Uvy', s tex por ego dusha
Prestupnoj dumoj omrachilas`!
Girej, izmenoyu dy'sha,
Moix ne slushaet ukorov,
Emu dokuchen serdcza ston;
Ni prezhnix chuvstv, ni razgovorov
So mnoyu ne naxodit on.
Ty' prestuplen`yu ne prichastna;
YA znayu: ne tvoya vina...
Itak, poslushaj: ya prekrasna;
Vo vsem gareme ty' odna
Mogla b eshhe mne by't` opasna;
No ya dlya strasti rozhdena,
No ty' lyubit`, kak ya, ne mozhesh`;
Zachem zhe xladnoj krasotoj
Ty' serdce slaboe trevozhish`?
Ostav` Gireya mne: on moj;

Na mne goryat ego lobzan`ya,
On klyatvy' strashny'e mne dal,
Davno vse dumy', vse zhelan`ya
Girej s moimi sochetal;
Menya ub`et ego izmena...
YA plachu; vidish`, ya kolena
Teper` sklonyayu pred toboj,
Molyu, vinit` tebya ne smeya,
Otdaj mne radost` i pokoj,
Otdaj mne prezhnego Gireya...
Ne vozrazhaj mne nichego;
On moj! on osleplen toboyu.
Prezren`em, pros`boyu, toskoyu,
Chem xochesh`, otvrati ego;
Klyanis`... (xot` ya dlya Alkorana,
Mezhdu nevol`niczami xana,
Zaby'la veru prezhnix dnej;
No vera materi moej
By'la tvoya) klyanis` mne eyu
Zaremu vozvratit` Gireyu...
No slushaj: esli ya dolzhna
Tebe... kinzhalom ya vladeyu,
YA bliz Kavkaza rozhdena».
