by Nikolay Alekseyevich von Ritter (1846 - 1919)
Akh, zachem `eta noch'
Language: Russian (Русский)
Akh, zachem `eta noch' Tak byla khorosha! Ne bolela by grud', Ne stradala b dusha... Aromatnoj vesnoj Povstrechalsja ja s nej. Rascvetali cvety, Sladko pel solovej. Vsej dushoj otdalsja, Lish' odnoj jeju zhil, Celoval, miloval I bezumno ljubil. Ne vnimaja mol'bam I rydan'jam moim, Vdrug poshla pod venec Ne so mnoj, a s drugim. I nikto ne vidal, Kak ja v cerkvi stojal, Prislonivshis' k stene, Bezuteshno rydal. Tak k chemu zh mne stradat', Dlja chego zhe mne zhit', Kol' jee zloj sud'boj Ne dano mne ljubit'.
