by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Iz Pindemonti
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ne dorogo cenyu ya gromkie prava,
Ot koix ne odna kruzhitsya golova.
YA ne ropshhu o tom, chto otkazali bogi
Mne v sladkoj uchasti osporivat` nalogi
Ili meshat` czaryam drug s drugom voevat`;
I malo gorya mne, svobodno li pechat`
Morochit oluxov, il` chutkaya cenzura
V zhurnal`ny'x zamy'slax stesnyaet balagura.
Vsyo e`to, vidite l`, slova, slova, slova[2]
Iny'e, luchshie, mne dorogi prava;
Inaya, luchshaya, potrebna mne svoboda:
Zaviset` ot czarya, zaviset` ot naroda —
Ne vsyo li nam ravno? Bog s nimi.
Nikomu
Otchyota ne davat`, sebe lish` samomu
Sluzhit` i ugozhdat`; dlya vlasti, dlya livrei
Ne gnut` ni sovesti, ni pomy'slov, ni shei;
Po prixoti svoej skitat`sya zdes` i tam,
Divyas` bozhestvenny'm prirody' krasotam,
I pred sozdan`yami iskusstv i vdoxnoven`ya
Trepeshha radostno v vostorgax umilen`ya.
Vot schast`e! vot prava…
