by Alexei Vasilyevich Timofeyev (1812 - 1883)
Ne sudite, ljudi, ljudi dobrye
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ne sudite, ljudi, ljudi dobrye, Bestalannuju golovushku; Ne branite menja, molodca, Za tosku moju, kruchinushku. Ne ponjat' vam, ljudi dobrye, Zloj toski mojej, kruchinushki; Ne ljubov' sgubila molodca, Ne razluka, ne navet ljudskoj. Serdce nojet, nojet den' i noch', [Ishchet, zhdjot, chego ne vedaja]1; Tak by vsjo v slezakh i tajalo, Tak by vsjo v slezakh i vylilos'. Gde vy, gde vy, dni razgul'nye, Dni bylye - vesna krasnaja?.. Ne vidat' vas bol'she molodcu, Ne nazhit' jemu proshedshego! Rasstupis' zhe ty, syra zemlja, Rastvorjajsja, moj doschatyj grob! Prijuti menja v nenastnyj den', Uspokoj moj utomlennyj dukh!
