by Nikolay Fyodorovich Shcherbina (1821 - 1869)

Noktjurn
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  CHI ENG ENG
Aromatnoj, vesenneju noch'ju
Ja na nebo gljazhu nenagljadno
Kogda more, usnuvsheje noch'ju
Tak prekrasno, tak mirno otradno.

Kogda slyshu, kak zlak prozjabajet
I kak p'jot on dykhanije nochi,
Tebja serdce mojo prizyvajet,
Tebja vidjat vo vsjom moi ochi.

Budto smotrish' ty temi zvezdami,
Budto dyshesh' dykhan'em prirody,
Rascvetajesh' nochnymi cvetami,
Naseljajesh' i vozdukh i vody.

Kogda slyshu vechernije zvuki, 
Te, chto l'jutsja, chto v vozdukhe tajut,
I tainstvenno s schastijem muki
I s pokojem trevogu meshajut,

Togda kazhetsja, budto nezrimo
Ty ko mne izdaljoka nesesh'sja,
Budto, chuju, promchalasja mimo,
Budto plamenem po serdcu l'josh'sja.

Chto rodnogo, skazhi mne, sokryto
V `etoj nochi i v zvukakh s toboju 
I kakaja struna u nikh slita
S moim serdcem, s mojeju sud'boju.
