by Sergei Aleksandrovich Esenin (1895 - 1925)
Tëmna nočen'ka
Language: Russian (Русский)
Tëmna nočen'ka, ne spitsja, Vyjdu k rečke na lužok. Raspojasala zarnica V pennych strujach pojasok. Na bugre berëza-svečka V lunnych per'jach serebra. Vychodi, moë serdečko, Slušat' pesni gusljara! Zaljubujus', zagljažus' li Na devič'ju krasotu, A pojdu pljasat' pod gusli, Tak sorvu tvoju fatu. V terem tëmnyj, v les zelënyj, Na šelkovy kupyri, Uvedu tebja pod sklony Vplot' do makovoj zari.
