Ona k grudi prižala vnov'
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Armenian (հայերեն)
Ona k grudi prižala vnov' Moju trepeščuščuju ruku I govorila… pro ljubov', Pro čuvstvo nežnoe i muku… «Ljubov' — ogon', izgnavšij t'mu, Vsë pogloščajuščij mjatežno… No, esli pišči net emu, On ugasaet beznadežno… Ljubov' — luč sveta dlja ljudej, Istočnik sčast'ja nezemnogo, Ljubov' — svetil'nik junych dnej, Nadežda serdca molodogo. Eë čarujuščij prizyv Razbudit vsë, čto v ljudjach živo, Bylye grëzy voskresiv, Zvuča svobodno i pravdivo! Poka sijaet nebosklon, I serdce plamennoe b'ëtsja, Ljubi! ved' žizn' projdët, kak son. Čto promel'knulo — ne vernëtsja!.. Podumaj, — mračnyj den' pridët, Zarja pomerknet, dogoraja, I nas, bessil'nych, smert' voz'mët, Pokroet prach zemlja syraja… Užel' menja ty ogorčiš', I k drugu tščetno ja vzyvaju? Vzgljani: molčan'e ty chraniš', A ja už slëzy prolivaju!..»
