by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Ne uezzhaj, lezginecz molodoj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
— Ne uezzhaj, lezginecz molodoj;
Zachem speshit` na rodinu svoyu?
Tvoj kon` ustal, v gorax tuman sy'roj;
A zdes` tebe i krovlya i pokoj,
‎I ya tebya lyublyu!..

Uzheli unesla zarya odna
Vospominan`e rajskix dvux nochej;
Net u menya podarkov: ya bedna,
No mne dusha sozdatelem dana,
‎Podobnaya tvoej.

V nenastny'j den` zaexal ty' syuda;
Pod mokroj burkoj, s gorestny'm liczom...
Uzheli dlya menya sej den`, kogda
Tak yarko solnce, xochesh` navsegda
‎Ty' mrachny'm sdelat` dnem?

Vzglyani: vokrug sineyut cepi gor,
Kak velikany', groznoyu tolpoj;
Luchi zari s kustami — ix ubor:
My' vol`ny' i dobry'; — zachem tvoj vzor
‎Letit k strane drugoj?

Pover`, otchizna tam, gde lyubyat nas;
Tebya ne vstretit sred` rodny'x dolin,
Ty' sam skazal, uly'bka mily'x glaz:
Pobud` eshhe so mnoj xot` den`, xot` chas.
‎Poslushaj! chas odin!

— Net u menya otchizny' i druzej,
Krome bulatnoj shashki i konya;
YA schastliv by'l lyuboviyu tvoej,
No vse-taki slezam tvoix ochej
‎Ne uderzhat` menya.

Krovavoj klyatvoj dushu ya svoyu
Otyagotiv, bluzhdayu mnogo let:
Pokuda krov` vraga ya ne prol`yu,
Usta ne skazhut nikomu: lyublyu.
‎Prosti: vot moj otvet.
