by Aleksei Nikolayevich Apukhtin (1841 - 1893)

Ljubov'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kogda bez strasti i bez dela
Bescvetno dni moi tekli,
Ona kak burja naletela
I unesla menja s zemli. 

Ona menja lišila very
I vdochnovenie zažgla,
Dala mne sčastie bez mery
I slëzy, slëzy bez čisla... 

Suchimi, žestkimi slovami
Terzala serdce mne poroj,
I chochotala nad slezami,
I izdevalas' nad toskoj;

A inogda gorjačim slovom
I vzorom laskovych očej
Gnala pečal' - i v bleske novom
V duše moej svetilasja moej! 

JA vse zabyl, dyšu liš' eju,
Vsju žizn' ja otdal ej vo vlast'. 
Blagoslovit' eë ne smeju
I ne mogu eë prokljast'.
