by Aleksandr Fomich Vel'tman (1800 - 1870)

Čto otumanilas', zoren'ka jasnaja
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Čto otumanilas', zoren'ka jasnaja,
Pala na zemlju rosoj?
Čto ty zadumalas', devuška krasnaja,
Oči blesnuli slezoj?

Žal' mne pokinut' tebja, černookuju!
[Peven']1 udaril krylom,
[Kriknul]2!.. Už polnoč'!.. Daj čaru glubokuju,
Vspen' poskoree vinom!

Vremja!.. [Vedi mne konja ty ljubimova]3,
[Krepče derži]4 pod uzdcy!
Edut s tovarami v put' iz Kasimova
Muromskim lesom kupcy!

Est' dlja tebja u [nich]5 koftočka šitaja,
Šubka na lis'em mechu!
Budeš' chodit' ty vsja zlatom oblitaja,
Spat' na lebjaž'em puchu!

Mnogo za dušu svoju odinokuju,
Mnogo [narjadov]6 kuplju!
JA l' vinovat, čto tebja, černookuju,
Bol'še, čem dušu, ljublju!
