Berëzka
Language: Russian (Русский)
Zelënaja pričeska, Devičeskaja grud', O, tonkaja berezka, Čto zagljadelas' v prud? Čto šepčet tebe veter? O čem zvenit pesok? Il' chočeš' v kosy-vetvi Ty lunnyj grebešok? Otkroj, otkroj mne tajnu Tvoich drevesnych dum, JA poljubil pečal'nyj Tvoj predosennij šum. I mne v otvet berezka: "O, ljubopytnyj drug, Segodnja noč'ju zvezdnoj Zdes' slezy lil pastuch. Luna stelila teni, Sijali zelenja. Za golye koleni On obnimal menja. I tak, vdochnuvši glubko, Skazal pod zvon vetvej: "Proščaj, moja golubka, Do novych žuravlej".
