by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)
Ty ne sprašivaj, ne raspytyvaj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ty ne sprašivaj, ne raspytyvaj, Umom-razumom ne raskidyvaj: Kak ljublju tebja, počemu ljublju, I za čto ljublju, i nadolgo li? Ty ne sprašivaj, ne raspytyvaj: Čto sestra l' ty mne, moloda l' žena Ili detišče ty mne maloe? I ne znaju ja i ne vedaju, Kak nazvat' tebja, kak priklikati. Mnogo cvetikov vo čistom pole, Mnogo zvëzd gorit po podnebes'ju, A nazvat'-to ich net umenija, Raspoznat'-to ich netu siluški. Poljubiv tebja, ja ne sprašival, Ne razgadyval, ne raspytyval; Poljubiv tebja, ja machnul rukoj, Očertil svoju bujnu golovu!
