by Aleksey Vasil'yevich Kol'tsov (1808 - 1842)

Terem
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Tam, gde terem tot stoit,
YA lyublyu vsegda xodit`
Noch`yu tixoj, noch`yu yasnoj,
V blagovonny'j maj prekrasny'j!

Chem zhe terem e`tot mil?
Chem menya on tak plenil?
On ne py'shny'j, on ne novy'j,
On brevenchaty'j — dubovy'j!

Ax, v tom tereme prostom
Est` s raskrashenny'm oknom
Razubrannaya svetlicza!
V nej zhivet dusha-devicza.

Kak-to vstretilsya ya s nej —
Ne svozhu s tex por ochej;
Krasna zh devicza ne znaet,
Po kom grud` moya vzdy'xaet.

Razry'vajsya, grud` moya!
Budu suzheny'm ne ya —
Tot bogaty'j, ya bez xaty' —
Czely'j mir moi palaty'!

Veshhun-serdce govorit:
«Zhit` tebe, detinke, zhit`
Ne s zhenoyu molodoyu —
S chuzhoj-dal`nej storonoyu…»
