Zachem menja terzajesh' ty
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Zachem menja terzajesh' ty
I otravljajesh' moj pokoj?
Zachem trevozhnye mechty
Povsjudu ishchut prizrak tvoj?

Akh! Ja ne znal nesnosnoj skuki,
Ne znal tomitel'nykh nochej;
Podverzhen ne byl tjazhkoj muke,
Ne byl rabom nich'ikh ochej!

Tvoi zh mne v serdce nozh vonzili,
Ot nikh, kak noch', ja mrachen stal;
Oni mne zhizn' tak otravili,
Chto luchshe b vek ja ikh ne znal!

O, ne gljadi! Tvoj vzgljad uzhasen,
Vezuv'ja plamen' v nem gorit,
I dlja menja on tak opasen,
I ot nego tak krov' kipit.
