by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

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.
