by Sergei Aleksandrovich Esenin (1895 - 1925)

Guslyar
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Tyomna nochen`ka, ne spitsya,
Vy'jdu k rechke na luzhok.
Raspoyasala zarnicza
V tyomny'x volnax poyasok.
Na bugre beryoza-svechka
V yarkix per`yax serebra.
Vy'xodi, moyo serdechko,
Slushat` pesni guslyara.
Zalyubuyus`, zaglyazhus` li
Na devich`yu krasotu,
A pojdu plyasat` pod gusli,
Tak sorvu tvoyu fatu.
Uvedu tebya pod sklony'
V shelkopryany'e polya.
Oj li gusli-samozvony',
Psalmopen`ya kovy'lya.
