by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Iz Pindemonti
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ne dorogo cenju ja gromkie prava,
Ot koich ne odna kružitsja golova.
JA ne ropšču o tom, čto otkazali bogi
Mne v sladkoj učasti osporivat' nalogi
Ili mešat' carjam drug s drugom voevat';
I malo gorja mne, svobodno li pečat'
Moročit oluchov, il' čutkaja cenzura
V žurnal'nych zamyslach stesnjaet balagura.
Vsë ėto, vidite l', slova, slova, slova[2]
Inye, lučšie, mne dorogi prava;
Inaja, lučšaja, potrebna mne svoboda:
Zaviset' ot carja, zaviset' ot naroda —
Ne vsë li nam ravno? Bog s nimi.
Nikomu
Otčëta ne davat', sebe liš' samomu
Služit' i ugoždat'; dlja vlasti, dlja livrei
Ne gnut' ni sovesti, ni pomyslov, ni šei;
Po prichoti svoej skitat'sja zdes' i tam,
Divjas' božestvennym prirody krasotam,
I pred sozdan'jami iskusstv i vdochnoven'ja
Trepešča radostno v vostorgach umilen'ja.
Vot sčast'e! vot prava…
