Ja pomnju vecher, my vdvojom Na beregu sideli, I zvjozdy s nezhnoju toskoj Na nas s nebes gljadeli. Ja pomnju, kak ruka tvoja Ruki mojej kosnulas'. I schast'ju nashemu luna Otradno ulybnulas'. Ja pomnju kak glaza tvoi Mne v dushu pronikali, I volnyj s ropotom ljubvi U nashikh nog pleskali. Ja pomnju, kak usta tvoi K ustam moim [pril'nuli]1... I [zvjozdy, volny]2 i ves' mir V blazhenstve potonuli.
