by Vasily Ivanovich Tumansky (1802 - 1860)

Lyubil ya ochi goluby'e
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Lyubil ya ochi goluby'e,
Teper` vlyubilsya v chyorny'e,
Te by'li mily'e takie,
A e`ti nepokorny'e.

Glyadet`, by'valo, ne ustanut
Te dolgo, vy'razitel`no,
A e`ti ne glyadyat, a vzglyanut
Tak - slovno czar` vlastitel`ny'j.

Na tex poroj sverkali slyozy',
Lyubvi nemy'e zhaloby',
A tut ne slyozy', a ugrozy',
A to i slyoz ne stalo by'.

Te ukroshhali zhizni volny',
Svetili mirny'm schastiem,
A e`ti burny'x molnij polny'
I dy'shat samovlastiem.

No uvlekatel`no, kak mladost`,
Ix yunoe mogushhestvo,
O! ya b za nix dal slavu, radost`
I vsyo dushi imushhestvo.

Lyubil ya ochi goluby'e,
Teper` vlyubilsya v chyorny'e,
Xot` e`ti serdczu ne rodny'e,
Xot` e`ti nepokorny'e.
