by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Est` drugie planety'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Est` drugie planety', gde vetry' pevuchie tishe,
Gde nebo blednee, travy' ton`she i vy'she,
Gde prery'visto l`yutsya peremenny'e svety',
No svoej peremenoj tol`ko laskayut, smeyutsya.

Est` iny'e planety', gde my' by'li kogda-to,
Gde my' budem potom, ne teper`, ne teper`,
A kogda, poteryav, sebya poteryav bez vozvrata,
My' budem lyubit` istomlenny'e stebli sedy'x
Shelestyashhix trav bez aromata.

Tonkix vy'sokix, kak zvyozdy' pechal`ny'x,
Lyubyashhix sonny'j pokoj mest pogrebal`ny'x,
Nad nashej mogiloyu spyashhix
I tixo, tak tixo, tak sumrachno tixo
Pod lunoj shelestyashhix.
