Ty' pomnish` li vecher, kak more shumelo, V shipovnike pel solovej, Dushisty'e vetki akacii beloj Kachalis` na shlyape tvoej? Mezh kamnej, obrosshix gusty'm vinogradom, Doroga by'la tak uzka; V [molchan`e]1 nad morem my' exali ryadom, [S rukoyu sxodilas`]2 ruka. Ty' tak na sedle nagibalas` krasivo, Ty' aly'j shipovnik rvala, Bulanoj loshadki kosmatuyu grivu S lyubov`yu ty' im ubrala; Odezhdy' tvoej neposlushny'e skladki Czeplyalis` za vetvi, a ty' Bespechno smeyalas` — czvety' na loshadke, V rukax i na shlyape czvety'! Ty' pomnish` li ryov dozhdevogo potoka I penu i bry'zgi krugom; I nam nashe gore kazalos` dalyoko, I kak my' zaby'li o nyom!
