Gruzinskaya pesnya
Language: Russian (Русский)
Zhila gruzinka molodaya,
V gareme dushnom uvyadaya.
Sluchilos` raz:
Iz chyorny'x glaz
Almaz lyubvi, pechali sy'n,
Skatilsya.
Ax, eyu stary'j armyanin
Gordilsya!..
Vokrug neyo kristall, rubiny',
No kak ne plakat` ot kruchiny'
U starika?
Ego ruka
Laskaet devu vsyakij den`,
I chto zhe? —
Skry'vayutsya krasy', kak ten`.
O bozhe!..
On opasaetsya izmeny'.
Ego vy'soki, krepki steny',
No vsyo lyubov`
Prezrela. Vnov`
Rumyanecz na shhekax zhivoj
Yavilsya,
I perl mezhdu resnicz poroj
Ne bilsya...
No armyanin otkry'l kovarnost`,
Izmenu i neblagodarnost`
Kak perenest`!
Dosada, mest`,
Vpervy'e vas on tol`ko sam
Izvedal!
I trup prestupnicy' volnam
On predal.
