by Evgeny Abramovich Baratynsky (1800 - 1844)

Vodopad
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Shumi, shumi s krutoj vershiny',
Ne umolkaj, potok sedoj!
Soedinyaj protyazhny'j voj
S protyazhny'm otzy'vom doliny'.

YA sly'shu: svishhet Akvilon,
Kachaet eliyu skry'puchej,
I s nepogodoyu revuchej
Tvoj ryov myatezhny'j soglashon.

Zachem, s bezumny'm ozhidan`em,
K tebe prislushivayus` ya?
Zachem trepeshhet grud` moya
Kakim-to veshhim trepetan`em?

Kak ocharovanny'j stoyu
Nad dy'mnoj bezdnoyu tvoeyu
I, mnitsya, serdcem razumeyu
Rech` bezglagol`nuyu tvoyu.

Shumi, shumi s krutoj vershiny',
Ne umolkaj, potok sedoj!
Soedinyaj protyazhny'j voj
S protyazhny'm otzy'vom doliny'!
