Osen'ju
Language: Russian (Русский) after the French (Français)
Byla vesna, byl jasnyj den', Ves' mir blagoukhal. Listvoj odet byl les, K sebe menja manila ten'. Moj drug menja tam ozhidal, Ljubil on i stradal! Potok jego rechej lilsja, I vsjo mne kazalos' milej; O chem govoril on, ne pomnju teper', Mojo serdce lish' bilos' sil'nej! O, kak khotelos' slushat' mne, I vsja ja byla, kak v ogne! Lazur' nebes raskinula Nad nami svoj shater. A lug cetami chudnymi Stelilsja, kak kover. V ljubvi priznalas' ja jemu, Sklonjas' na grud' k nemu. I pel ruchej nam pesenku, Otradno jejo bylo slushat' mne, On pel o ljubvi, pel o radostnykh dnjakh, Pel o schast'e ljudskom, o vesne... Minuli dni schastlivykh grjoz, O chem mechtal tak sladko on; Nastali dni gorjuchikh sljoz, Ischezlo vse, kak divnyj son.
