Gruzinskaja pesnja
Language: Russian (Русский)
Zhila gruzinka molodaja,
V gareme dushnom uvjadaja.
Sluchilos' raz:
Iz chjornykh glaz
Almaz ljubvi, pechali syn,
Skatilsja.
Akh, jeju staryj armjanin
Gordilsja!..
Vokrug nejo kristall, rubiny,
No kak ne plakat' ot kruchiny
U starika?
Jego ruka
Laskajet devu vsjakij den',
I chto zhe? —
Skryvajutsja krasy, kak ten'.
O bozhe!..
On opasajetsja izmeny.
Jego vysoki, krepki steny,
No vsjo ljubov'
Prezrela. Vnov'
Rumjanec na shchekakh zhivoj
Javilsja,
I perl mezhdu resnic poroj
Ne bilsja...
No armjanin otkryl kovarnost',
Izmenu i neblagodarnost'
Kak perenest'!
Dosada, mest',
Vpervye vas on tol'ko sam
Izvedal!
I trup prestupnicy volnam
On predal.
