by Alexei Vasilyevich Timofeyev (1812 - 1883)
Ne sudite, ljudi, ljudi dobrye
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ne sudite, ljudi, ljudi dobrye, Bestalannuju golovušku; Ne branite menja, molodca, Za tosku moju, kručinušku. Ne ponjat' vam, ljudi dobrye, Zloj toski moej, kručinuški; Ne ljubov' sgubila molodca, Ne razluka, ne navet ljudskoj. Serdce noet, noet den' i noč', [Iščet, ždët, čego ne vedaja]1; Tak by vsë v slezach i tajalo, Tak by vsë v slezach i vylilos'. Gde vy, gde vy, dni razgul'nye, Dni bylye - vesna krasnaja?.. Ne vidat' vas bol'še molodcu, Ne nažit' emu prošedšego! Rasstupis' že ty, syra zemlja, Rastvorjajsja, moj dosčatyj grob! Prijuti menja v nenastnyj den', Uspokoj moj utomlennyj duch!
