by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

Ty govoriš', čto ja dremlju
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ty govoriš', čto ja dremlju,
Ty unizitel'no chochočeš'.
I ty menja zastavit' chočeš'
Sto raz proiznesti: ljublju.

Tvoj južnyj golos tomen. Stan
Napominaet stan gazeli,
A ja prišël k tebe iz stran,
Gde večnyj sneg i voj meteli.

Mne stranen val'sa legkij zvon
I dušnyj oblak nad toboju.
Ty dlja menja — [prekrasnyj]1 son,
Skvozjaščij pyl'ju snegovoju…

I ja bojus' tebja nazvat'
Po imeni. Začem mne imja?
Daj mne trevožno sozercat'
Očami žadnymi moimi

Tvoj južnyj blesk, zabytyj mnoj,
Napominajuščij naprasno
Den' uletevšij, den' prekrasnyj,
Ubityj noč'ju snegovoj.
