by Pyotr Ivanovich Shalikov (1767/8 - 1852)

Russkaya pesnya
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ny'nche by'l ya pochtovom na dvore -
L`stil sebe najti ot milen`koj pis`mo,
I - poshyol nazad s uny'loyu dushoj.
Net pis`ma! ... net serdczu radosti ni v chyom!
Ax! davno, davno ne pishet uzh ko mne
Ta, kotoroyu na svete ya zhivu;
Ta, kotora uveryala tak menya,
Chto v razluke ej otrada tol`ko v tom,
Chtob pisat` ko mne... o goresti svoej!...
Chto zh meshaet ej v otrade toj teper`?
Chto meshaet serdce druga ozhivit`?
Neuzhel` zaby't ya miloyu moej?
Neuzheli son by'l schastie moyo?...
Net, ne mozhet stat`sya e`togo vovek!
YA dovol`no znayu miluyu moyu:
Eyo serdce ne umeet izmenit`;
Eyo serdce vek ostanetsya moim -
Znat`, svobodnogo i v tereme svoyom
Ne imeet ona vremeni chasa;
Il` prepyatstvuyut nedobry' lyudi ej
K drugu gramotki chrez pochtu posy'lat`...
No, chto b ni by'lo prichinoyu togo, -
Lish` by'la b zdorova milaya moya!
