Language: Russian (Русский) after the Armenian (հայերեն)
I To by'lo volshebnoyu noch`yu… [Dusha by'la schast`ya polna]1, I v pesnyax moix otrazhalas` Lyubvi molodaya vesna… To by'lo vesennej poroyu… Vsyo zhizn`yu dy'shalo krugom… I mesyacz daril nas uly'bkoj, Na nebe siyaya nochnom. I, vzor na menya ustremlyaya, [Polna bezzavetnoj lyubvi, Mne devushka milaya nezhno]2 Sheptala priznan`ya svoi… II Tosklivaya noch` nastupila… Mne grustno… dusha xolodna… Ne svetyat mne yasny'e zvyozdy', Uly'bki ne shlyot mne luna! Glubokaya osen`… Toskoyu Ob``yata dusha moya vnov`… Stradaet neschastnoe serdce; Kak son, promel`knula lyubov`! V sadu opustevshem bluzhdayu Odin ya, pechal`yu tomim, O proshlom grushhu — i ry'dayu Nad schast`em razbity'm svoim…
