by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Lyublyu tebya, Petra tvoren`e
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Lyublyu tebya, Petra tvoren`e,
Lyublyu tvoj strogij, strojny'j vid,
Nevy' derzhavnoe techen`e,
Beregovoj ee granit,
Tvoix ograd uzor chugunny'j,
Tvoix zadumchivy'x nochej
Prozrachny'j sumrak, blesk bezlunny'j,
Kogda ya v komnate moej
Pishu, chitayu bez lampady',
I yasny' spyashhie gromady'
Pusty'nny'x ulicz, i svetla
Admiraltejskaya igla,
I, ne puskaya t`mu nochnuyu
Na zoloty'e nebesa,
Odna zarya smenit` druguyu
Speshit, dav nochi polchasa.
Lyublyu zimy' tvoej zhestokoj
Nedvizhny'j vozdux i moroz,
Beg sanok vdol` Nevy' shirokoj,
Devich`i licza yarche roz,
I blesk, i shum, i govor balov,
A v chas pirushki xolostoj
Shipen`e penisty'x bokalov
I punsha plamen` goluboj.
Lyublyu voinstvennuyu zhivost`
Poteshny'x Marsovy'x polej,
Pexotny'x ratej i... konej
Odnoobraznuyu krasivost`,
V ix strojno zy'blemom stroyu
Loskut`ya six znamen pobedny'x,
Siyan`e shapok e`tix medny'x,
Naskvoz` prostrelenny'x v boyu.
Lyublyu, voennaya stolicza,
Tvoej tverdy'ni dy'm i grom,
Kogda polnoshhnaya czaricza
Daruet sy'na v czarskoj dom,
Ili pobedu nad vragom
Rossiya snova torzhestvuet,
Ili, vzlomav svoj sinij led,
Neva k moryam ego neset
I, chuya veshni dni, likuet.
Krasujsya, grad Petrov, i stoj
Nekolebimo kak Rossiya,
Da umiritsya zhe s toboj
I pobezhdennaya stixiya;
Vrazhdu i plen starinny'j svoj
Pust` volny' finskie zabudut
I tshhetnoj zloboyu ne budut
Trevozhit` vechny'j son Petra!
