by Aleksey Stepanovich Khomyakov (1804 - 1860)

Ja videl son, čto budto ja pevec
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ja videl son, čto budto ja pevec, 
I čto pevec - prečudnoe javlen'e, 
I čto v pevce na vse svoë tvoren'e
Vsevyšnij položil venec.
     
JA videl son, čto budto ja pevec, 
I pod perstom moim dyšali struny, 
I zvuki ich gremeli kak peruny, 
Streloj vonzalisja vo glubinu serdec.
     
I kak v stepi gluchoj živye vody, 
Tak pesn' moja laskala žadnyj sluch;
V nej slyšen byl i tajnyj glas prirody, 
I [smertno gor"e]1 parjaščij duch.
     
No čas nastal. Menja vo grob sokryli, 
Moi usta mogil'nyj chlad skoval;
No iz mogil'noj t'my,  iz chladnoj pyli, 
Gremela pesn' i sladkij glas zvučal.
     
Veka prošli, i plemena drugie
Pokryli kraj, gde prach pevca ležal;
No ne zamolkli struny zolotye, 
I sladkij glas po-prežnemu zvučal.
     
JA videl son, čto budto ja pevec, 
I čto pevec - prečudnoe javlen'e, 
I čto v pevce na vse svoe tvoren'e
Vsevyšnij položil venec.
