by Aleksey Stepanovich Khomyakov (1804 - 1860)
Dve pesni
Language: Russian (Русский)
Prelestna pesn` poludennoj strany'!
Ona ognem zhivitel`ny'm sogreta,
Kak yarkij den` bezoblachnogo leta;
Ona sladka, kak tomny'j svet luny',
[Trepeshhushhij na zerkale laguny']1;
Vse v nej k lyubvi i nege nas manit,
No ne zvuchat otzy'vno serdcza struny',
I my'sl` moya v grudi bezmolvnoj spit.
Drugaya pesn`! to pesn` rodnogo kraya,
Protyazhnaya, uny'laya, prostaya,
Toski i slyoz, i gorestej polna.
Kak mnogo dum vzbudila vdrug ona
Pro nashu step` pro [zvonkie meteli]1,
Pro radosti i skorbi yuny'x dnej,
Pro tixie napevy' koly'beli,
Pro otchij dom i krovny'x, i druzej.
