by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

V chasy' zabav il` prazdnoj skuki
Language: Russian (Русский) 
V chasy' zabav il` prazdnoj skuki,
By'valo, lire ya moej
Vveryal iznezhenny'e zvuki
Bezumstva, leni i strastej.

No i togda struny' lukavoj
Nevol`no zvon ya prery'val,
Kogda tvoj golos velichavy'j
Menya vnezapno porazhal.

YA lil potoki slyoz nezhdanny'x,
I ranam sovesti moej
Tvoix rechej blagouxanny'x
Otraden chisty'j by'l elej.

I ny'ne s vy'soty' duxovnoj
Mne ruku prostiraesh` ty',
I siloj krotkoj i lyubovnoj
Smiryaesh` bujny'e mechty'.

Tvoim ognyom dusha palima
Otvergla mrak zemny'x suet,
I vnemlet arfe serafima
V svyashhennom uzhase poe`t.
