by Vladimir Aleksandrovich Sollogub, Graf (Count) (1813 - 1882)

Serenada
Language: Russian (Русский) 
[Zakinuv]1 plashh, s gitaroj pod [rukoyu]2,
K eyo oknu pojdyom v tishi nochnoj,
I tam prervyom my' pesn`yu molodoyu
Roskoshny'j son krasavicy' mladoj.
No ne strashis`, plenitel`naya deva,
Ne vozmutim tvoix my' svetly'x snov
Neistovstvom bursaczkogo napeva
Il` povest`yu studencheskix grexov.

Net, my' poyom i tixo i smirenno,
Lish` dlya togo, chtob sly'shala nas ty',
I nasha pesn` - kak fimiam svyashhenny'j
Pred altarem bogini krasoty'.
Zvezda dushi! Boginya molodaya!
Nas osvetil ogon` tvoix ochej,
I golos nash, na serdce zamiraya,
Lyubvi zemnoj ne vy'razit rechej.

My' zdes` poyom vo t`me vesennej nochi;
Ty' zh, probudyas` ot shuma golosov,
Somknesh` opyat` mechtatel`ny'e ochi,
Ne rassly'xav bozzvan`ya bursakov;
No net... dushoj usly'shav serenadu,
Sty'dyas` vo sne... ty' pesn` lyubvi pojmyosh`
I nexotya nochny'm pevczam v nagradu
Ix menya vprosonkax nazovyosh`.
