by Vladimir Grigorevich Benediktov (1807 - 1873)

K chernookoj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Net, krasavica, naprasno
Tvoj jazyk lepechet mne,
Chto rodilas' ty v nenastnoj,
V nashej khladnoj storone.
Net, ne verju: izdaljoka
Burnyj vetr tebja uvlek.
Ty zhemchuzhina Vostoka,
Polja zharkogo cvetok,
Ty zhemchuzhina Vostoka,
Polja zharkogo cvetok,

Chernyj glaz i chernyj volos
Vsjo ne nashikh rusykh dev,
I tomitel'nyj tvoj golos
Syplet rech' ne naraspev.
Net v lice tvojem tumana,
Grud' ne szhata u tebja,
I izviv zhivogo stana –
Aziatskaja zmeja,
I izviv zhivogo stana –
Aziatskaja zmeja.

Ty gljadish', ochej ne zhmurja,
I v ochakh gorit smola.
I tropicheskaja burja
Dyshit plamenem s chela.
Fosfor v beshenom blistan'e –
Vzory bystrye tvoi,
I sladchajsheje dykhan'e
Vejet muskusom ljubvi,
I sladchajsheje dykhan'e
Vejet muskusom ljubvi.
