by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Ostav` naprasny'e zaboty'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ostav` naprasny'e zaboty',
Ne obnazhaj minuvshix dnej:
V nix ne otkroesh` nichego ty',
Za chto b menya lyubit` sil`nej!
Ty' lyubish` — veryu — i dovol`no;
Kogo, — ty' vedat` ne dolzhna;
Tebe otkry't` mne by'lo b bol`no,
Kak zhizn` moya pusta, cherna.
Ne pogublyu svyatoe schast`e
Takoj dushi i ne skazhu,
Chto nedostoin ya uchast`ya,
Chto sam nichem ne dorozhu;
Chto vsyo, chem serdce dorozhilo,
Teper` dlya serdcza stalo yad,
Chto dlya nego stradan`e milo,
Kak sputnik, sobstvennost` il` brat.
Promolviv laskovoe slovo,
V nagradu trebuj zhizn` moyu;
No, drug moj, ne prosi by'logo,
YA muk svoix ne prodayu.
