Ya pomnyu vremya zolotoe
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ya pomnyu vremya zolotoe,
YA pomnyu serdczu mily'j kraj:
Den` vecherel; my' by'li dvoe;
Vnizu, v teni, shumel Dunaj.

I na xolmu, tam, gde, beleya,
Ruina zamka v dal` glyadit,
Stoyala ty', mladaya Feya,
Na mshisty'j opershis` granit, —

Nogoj mladencheskoj kasayas`
Oblomkov grudy' vekovoj;
I solnce medlilo, proshhayas`
S xolmom, i zamkom, i toboj.

I veter tixij mimoletom
Tvoej odezhdoyu igral
I s dikix yablon` czvet za czvetom
Na plechi yuny'e sveval.

Ty' bezzabotno vdal` glyadela…
Kraj neba dy'mno gas v luchax;
Den` dogoral; zvuchnee pela
Reka v pomerkshix beregax.

I ty' s veselost`yu bespechnoj
Schastlivy'j provozhala den`;
I sladko zhizni by'strotechnoj
Nad nami proletala ten`.
