To bylo volshebnoju noch'ju
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Armenian (հայերեն)
I To bylo volshebnoju noch'ju… [Dusha byla schast'ja polna]1, I v pesnjakh moikh otrazhalas' Ljubvi molodaja vesna… To bylo vesennej poroju… Vsjo zhizn'ju dyshalo krugom… I mesjac daril nas ulybkoj, Na nebe sijaja nochnom. I, vzor na menja ustremljaja, [Polna bezzavetnoj ljubvi, Mne devushka milaja nezhno]2 Sheptala priznan'ja svoi… II Tosklivaja noch' nastupila… Mne grustno… dusha kholodna… Ne svetjat mne jasnye zvjozdy, Ulybki ne shljot mne luna! Glubokaja osen'… Toskoju Ob"jata dusha moja vnov'… Stradajet neschastnoje serdce; Kak son, promel'knula ljubov'! V sadu opustevshem bluzhdaju Odin ja, pechal'ju tomim, O proshlom grushchu — i rydaju Nad schast'em razbitym svoim…
