by Vasily Ivanovich Tumansky (1802 - 1860)

Ljubil ja oči golubye
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ljubil ja oči golubye,
Teper' vljubilsja v čërnye,
Te byli milye takie,
A ėti nepokornye.

Gljadet', byvalo, ne ustanut
Te dolgo, vyrazitel'no,
A ėti ne gljadjat, a vzgljanut
Tak - slovno car' vlastitel'nyj.

Na tech poroj sverkali slëzy,
Ljubvi nemye žaloby,
A tut ne slëzy, a ugrozy,
A to i slëz ne stalo by.

Te ukroščali žizni volny,
Svetili mirnym sčastiem,
A ėti burnych molnij polny
I dyšat samovlastiem.

No uvlekatel'no, kak mladost',
Ich junoe moguščestvo,
O! ja b za nich dal slavu, radost'
I vsë duši imuščestvo.

Ljubil ja oči golubye,
Teper' vljubilsja v čërnye,
Chot' ėti serdcu ne rodnye,
Chot' ėti nepokornye.
