by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Kolokol stonet
Language: Russian (Русский) 
      Kolokol stonet,
      Devushka plachet,
   I sljozy po chjotkam begut.
         Nasil'no,
         Nasil'no
Ot mira v obiteli skryta ona,
Gde zhizn' bez nadezhdy i nochi bez sna.

      Tak mojo serdce
      Grud' bespokoit
      I b'jotsja, b'jotsja, b'jotsja.
         Velela,
         Velela
Sud'ba mne ljubov' ot nego otorvat'
I devu zabyt', khot' tomu ne byvat'.

      Smert' i bessmert'e,
      Zhizn' i pogibel'
   I deve i serdcu nichto;
         U serdca
         I devy
Odno lish' stradan'e, odin lish' predmet:
Jemu schast'ja nado, jej nadoben svet.
