from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Otčego tak zadumčiva ty?
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Otčego tak zadumčiva ty? 
Otčego vzor tvoj polon toski?
Razskaži pro svoi mne mečty,
Grust' tvoju razdelju ja s toboj.

JA učast'em tebja oživlju,
O sušu  na glazach tvoich slëzy.
Žizn' nadeždoj tvoju obnovlju  
I razseju pečal'nyja grëzy.

I vzamen u tebja ne sprošu
Ni ljubvi ni živogo učast'ja;
JA odin v celom mire brožu,
Už ne videt' mne ėtogo sčast'ja.

Poprošu u tebja odnogo,
Poprošu vernoj družby, priveta,
Gluboko v serdce skroju ego
JA ot vzorov cholodnogo sveta.

Na privetnye laski tvoi
Struny serdca opjat' otzovutsja,
I upreki moi perel'jutsja
V sladkozvučnye pesni ljubvi.
