by Osip Emil'evich Mandelstam (1891 - 1938)

Ja naravne s drugimi khochu tebe sluzhit'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ja naravne s drugimi
Khochu tebe sluzhit',
Ot revnosti sukhimi
Gubami vorozhit'.
Ne utoljajet slovo
Mne peresokhshikh ust,
I bez tebja mne snova
Dremuchij vozdukh pust.

Ja bol'she ne revnuju,
No ja tebja khochu,
I sam sebja nesu ja,
Kak zhertvu palachu.
Tebja ne nazovu ja
Ni radost', ni ljubov'.
Na dikuju, chuzhuju
Mne podmenili krov'.

Jeshche odno mgnoven'e,
I ja skazhu tebe,
Ne radost', a muchen'e
Ja nakhozhu v tebe.
I, slovno prestuplen'e,
Menja k tebe vlechet
Iskusannyj v smjaten'i
Vishnevyj nezhnyj rot.

Vernis' ko mne skoreje,
Mne strashno bez tebja,
Ja nikogda sil'neje
Ne chuvstvoval tebja,
I vse, chego khochu ja,
Ja vizhu najavu.
Ja bol'she ne revnuju,
No ja tebja zovu.
