by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Rodina
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Lyublyu otchiznu ya, no strannoyu lyubov`yu!
‎Ne pobedit ee rassudok moj.
‎Ni slava, kuplennaya krov`yu,
Ni polny'j gordogo doveriya pokoj,
Ni temnoj stariny' zavetny'e predan`ya
Ne shevelyat vo mne otradnogo mechtan`ya.

‎No ya lyublyu — za chto, ne znayu sam, —
‎Ee stepej xolodnoe molchan`e,
‎Ee lesov bezbrezhny'x koly'xan`e,
Razlivy' rek ee, podobny'e moryam.
Proselochny'm putem lyublyu skakat` v telege
I, vzorom medlenny'm pronzaya nochi ten`,
Vstrechat` po storonam, vzdy'xaya o nochlege,
Drozhashhie ogni pechal`ny'x dereven`.
‎Lyublyu dy'mok spalennoj zhnivy',
‎V stepi nochuyushhij oboz
‎I na xolme sred` zheltoj nivy'
‎Chetu beleyushhix berez.
‎S otradoj, mnogim neznakomoj,
‎Ya vizhu polnoe gumno,
‎Izbu, pokry'tuyu solomoj,
‎S rezny'mi stavnyami okno.
‎I v prazdnik, vecherom rosisty'm,
‎Smotret` do polnochi gotov
‎Na plyasku s topan`em i svistom
‎Pod govor p`yany'x muzhichkov.
