by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Ne uezžaj, lezginec molodoj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
— Ne uezžaj, lezginec molodoj;
Začem spešit' na rodinu svoju?
Tvoj kon' ustal, v gorach tuman syroj;
A zdes' tebe i krovlja i pokoj,
‎I ja tebja ljublju!..

Uželi unesla zarja odna
Vospominan'e rajskich dvuch nočej;
Net u menja podarkov: ja bedna,
No mne duša sozdatelem dana,
‎Podobnaja tvoej.

V nenastnyj den' zaechal ty sjuda;
Pod mokroj burkoj, s gorestnym licom...
Uželi dlja menja sej den', kogda
Tak jarko solnce, chočeš' navsegda
‎Ty mračnym sdelat' dnem?

Vzgljani: vokrug sinejut cepi gor,
Kak velikany, groznoju tolpoj;
Luči zari s kustami — ich ubor:
My vol'ny i dobry; — začem tvoj vzor
‎Letit k strane drugoj?

Pover', otčizna tam, gde ljubjat nas;
Tebja ne vstretit sred' rodnych dolin,
Ty sam skazal, ulybka milych glaz:
Pobud' ešče so mnoj chot' den', chot' čas.
‎Poslušaj! čas odin!

— Net u menja otčizny i druzej,
Krome bulatnoj šaški i konja;
JA sčastliv byl ljuboviju tvoej,
No vse-taki slezam tvoich očej
‎Ne uderžat' menja.

Krovavoj kljatvoj dušu ja svoju
Otjagotiv, bluždaju mnogo let:
Pokuda krov' vraga ja ne prol'ju,
Usta ne skažut nikomu: ljublju.
‎Prosti: vot moj otvet.
