by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Net, net, ne dolzhen ja, ne smeju, ne mogu
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Net, net, ne dolzhen ja, ne smeju, ne mogu
Volnenijam ljubvi bezumno predavat'sja;
Spokojstvije [mojo]1 ja strogo beregu
I serdcu ne daju pylat' i zabyvat'sja;
Net, polno mne ljubit'; no pochemu zh poroj
Ne pogruzhusja ja v minutnoje mechtan'e,
Kogda nechajanno projdjot peredo mnoj
Mladoje, chistoje, nebesnoje sozdan'e,
Projdjot i skrojetsja?.. Uzhel' ne mozhno mne,
Ljubujas' devoju v pechal'nom sladostrast'e,
Glazami sledovat' za nej i v tishine
Blagoslovljat' jejo na radost' i na schast'e,
I serdcem jej zhelat' vse blaga zhizni sej,
Vesjolyj mir dushi, bespechnye dosugi,
Vsjo — dazhe schastije togo, kto izbran jej,
Kto miloj deve dast nazvanije suprugi.
