by Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (1818 - 1883)

Ax, davno li gulyal ya s toboj!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ax, davno li gulyal ya s toboj!
Tak otradno shumeli lesa!
I glyadel ya s lyubov`yu nemoj
Vsyo v tvoi goluby'e glaza.

I dusha likovala moya...
Razgoralas` potuxshaya krov`,
I czvela, rasczvetala zemlya,
I czvela, rasczvetala lyubov`.

Den` vesennij, plenitel`ny'j den`!
Tak privetno zhurchali ruch`i,
A v lesu, v polusvetluyu ten`
Tak svetlo zapadali luchi!

Kak roskoshno struilas` reka!
Kak legko trepetali listy'!
Kak blazhenno neslis` oblaka!
Kak svetlo uly'balasya ty'!

Kak ya vsyo, vsyo drugoe zaby'l!
Kak ya by'l i zadumchiv i tix!
Kak tainstvenno tronut ya by'l!
Kak ya slez ne sty'dilsya moix! —

A teper` e`tot den` nam smeshon,
I pory'vy' lyubovnoj toski
Nam smeshny', kak nesby'vshijsya son,
Kak pusty'e, ploxie stishki.
