by Fyodor Tumansky (1800 - 1853)

Vchera ja rastvoril temnicu
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vchera ja [rastvoril]1 temnicu
Vozdushnoj plennicy mojej:
Ja roshcham vozvratil pevicu,
Ja vozvratil svobodu jej.

Ona ischezla, utopaja
V sijan'i golubogo dnja,
I tak zapela, uletaja,
Kak by molilas' za menja.
