sometimes misattributed to O. Rosswein and by Sergey Aleksandrovich Safonov (1867 - 1904)
O, esli b grust` moya
Language: Russian (Русский)
O, esli b grust` moya, Chto davit serdce mne, Tebe bez slov by'la ponyatna. Kak nochi mgla bez zvyozd, Kak mir v predsmertnom sne, Ona temna i neob``yatna! Obmanchivoj slezoj Ne vy'plachesh` vsego, Ne pereskazhesh` pesnej nezhnoj. Ty' pesni ne pojmyosh`, Kak serdcza moego Ne ponyal ty' v grudi myatezhnoj.
