Translation by Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev (1803 - 1873)
Kogda, čto zvali my svoim
Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)
Kogda, čto zvali my svoim, Navek ot nas ušlo I, kak pod kamnem grobovym, Nam stanet tjaželo, - Pojdëm i vzgljanem vdol' reki, Tuda, po sklonu vod, Kuda stremglav begut strui, Kuda potok nesët - Neodolim, neuderžim, I ne vernëtsja vspjat'... I čëm my dolee gljadim, Tem legče nam dyšat'... I slëzy l'jutsja iz očej, I vidim my skvoz' slëz, Kak vsë bystree i bystrej Volnen'e poneslos'... Duša vpadaet v zabyt'ë - I čuvstvuet ona, Čto vot pomčala i eë Velikaja volna.
