by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Sosed
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kto b ni byl ty, pečal'nyj moj sosed,
Ljublju tebja, kak druga junych let,
Tebja, tovarišč moj slučajnyj,
Chotja sud'by kovarnoju igroj
Naveki my razlučeny s toboj
Stenoj teper' — a posle tajnoj.

Kogda zari rumjanyj polusvet
V okno tjur'my proščal'nyj svoj privet
Mne, umiraja, posylaet
 I, operšis' na zvučnoe ruž'e,
Naš časovoj, pro staroe žit'e
Mečtaja, stoja zasypaet, —

Togda, čelo skloniv k syroj stene,
JA slušaju — i v mračnoj tišine
Tvoi napevy razdajutsja.
O čem oni — ne znaju, no toskoj
Ispolneny, i zvuki čeredoj,
Kak slezy, ticho l'jutsja, l'jutsja...

I lučšich let nadeždy i ljubov' —
V grudi moej vsë oživaet vnov',
I mysli daleko nesutsja,
I polon um želanij i strastej,
I krov' kipit — i slezy iz očej,
Kak zvuki, drug za drugom l'jutsja.
