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

Serenada
Language: Russian (Русский) 
[Zakinuv]1 plashch, s gitaroj pod [rukoju]2,
K jejo oknu pojdjom v tishi nochnoj,
I tam prervjom my pesn'ju molodoju
Roskoshnyj son krasavicy mladoj.
No ne strashis', plenitel'naja deva,
Ne vozmutim tvoikh my svetlykh snov
Neistovstvom bursackogo napeva
Il' povest'ju studencheskikh grekhov.

Net, my pojom i tikho i smirenno,
Lish' dlja togo, chtob slyshala nas ty,
I nasha pesn' - kak fimiam svjashchennyj
Pred altarem bogini krasoty.
Zvezda dushi! Boginja molodaja!
Nas osvetil ogon' tvoikh ochej,
I golos nash, na serdce zamiraja,
Ljubvi zemnoj ne vyrazit rechej.

My zdes' pojom vo t'me vesennej nochi;
Ty zh, probudjas' ot shuma golosov,
Somknesh' opjat' mechtatel'nye ochi,
Ne rasslykhav bozzvan'ja bursakov;
No net... dushoj uslyshav serenadu,
Stydjas' vo sne... ty pesn' ljubvi pojmjosh'
I nekhotja nochnym pevcam v nagradu
Ikh menja vprosonkakh nazovjosh'.
