by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)
Mogila bojcza
Language: Russian (Русский)
On spit poslednim snom davno,
On spit poslednim snom,
Nad nim bugor nasy'pan by'l,
Zeleny'j dern krugom.
Sedy'e kudri starika
Smeshalisya s zemlej.
Oni vzvevalis` po plecham
Za chashej pirovoj.
Oni bely', kak pena voln,
Biyushhixsya u skal.
Usta, lyubimicy' besed,
Vpervy'e xlad skoval.
I bledny' shheki mertvecza,
Kak lik ego vragov
Blednel, kogda yavlyalsya on
Odin sred` ix ryadov.
Sy'roj zemlej pokry'ta grud`,
No ej ne tyazhelo,
I cherv`, dvizhen`ya ne boyas`,
Polzet cherez chelo.
Na to l` on zhil i mech nosil,
Chtob v chas vechernej mgly'
Sletalis` na kurgan ego
Pusty'nny'e orly'?
Xotya pevecz zemli rodnoj
Ne raz uzh pel ob nem,
No pesn` — vsyo pesn`, a zhizn` — vsyo zhizn`!
On spit poslednim snom.
