by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Колокол стонет
Language: Russian (Русский) 
      Колокол стонет,
      Девушка плачет,
   И слёзы по чёткам бегут.
         Насильно,
         Насильно
От мира в обители скрыта она,
Где жизнь без надежды и ночи без сна.

      Так моё сердце
      Грудь беспокоит
      И бьётся, бьётся, бьётся.
         Велела,
         Велела
Судьба мне любовь от него оторвать
И деву забыть, хоть тому не бывать.

      Смерть и бессмертье,
      Жизнь и погибель
   И деве и сердцу ничто;
         У сердца
         И девы
Одно лишь страданье, один лишь предмет:
Ему счастья надо, ей надобен свет.
