by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

Ty' govorish`, chto ya dremlyu
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ty' govorish`, chto ya dremlyu,
Ty' unizitel`no xoxochesh`.
I ty' menya zastavit` xochesh`
Sto raz proiznesti: lyublyu.

Tvoj yuzhny'j golos tomen. Stan
Napominaet stan gazeli,
A ya prishyol k tebe iz stran,
Gde vechny'j sneg i voj meteli.

Mne stranen val`sa legkij zvon
I dushny'j oblak nad toboyu.
Ty' dlya menya — [prekrasny'j]1 son,
Skvozyashhij py'l`yu snegovoyu…

I ya boyus` tebya nazvat`
Po imeni. Zachem mne imya?
Daj mne trevozhno sozerczat`
Ochami zhadny'mi moimi

Tvoj yuzhny'j blesk, zaby'ty'j mnoj,
Napominayushhij naprasno
Den` uletevshij, den` prekrasny'j,
Ubity'j noch`yu snegovoj.
