by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Pesnja cyganki
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Den' proshjol, zarja pogasla, zatjanulo pyl'ju dal';
u kostra sidit cyganka, zavernulas' v temnu shal'.
Stepi, zori da cyganki belu grud'
ne zabudu, pomnit' budu stepi, zori da kibitok dal'nij put'.

Mesjac vstal nad kovyljami, rzhjot daleko gde-to kon'.
U kostra sidit cyganka, smotrit sumrachno v ogon'.
Zhizn' proshla, kak den' prokhodit... Dremljut v tabore voza.
U kostra sidit cyganka, shal' spustila na glaza.

Stepi, zori da cyganki belu grud'
ne zabudu, pomnit' budu, stepi, zori da kibitok dal'nij put'.
